content: rename articles to reinforce convention of short URLs
The Go blog started out on Blogger (http://web.archive.org/web/20100325005843/http://blog.golang.org/). Later, we moved to the current self-hosted blog server with extra Go-specific functionality like playground snippets. The old Blogger posts have very long URLs that Blogger chose for us, such as "go-programming-language-turns-two" or "two-go-talks-lexical-scanning-in-go-and", predating the convention of giving posts shorter, more share-friendly, typeable names. The conversion of the old Blogger posts also predated the convention of putting supporting files in a subdirectory. The result is that although we've established new conventions, you wouldn't know by listing the directory - the old Blogger content presents a conflicting picture. This commit renames the posts with very long names to have shorter, more share-friendly names, and it moves all supporting files to subdirectories. It also adds a README documenting the conventions. For example, blog.golang.org/go-programming-language-turns-two is now blog.golang.org/2years, matching our more recent birthday post URLs, and its supporting files are moved to the new 2years/ directory. The old URLs redirect to the new ones.

+
+## Announcing the Go Community Outreach Working Group
+
+The Go project has grown considerably with over half a million users and
+community members all over the world. To date all community oriented activities
+have been organized by the community with minimal involvement from the Go
+project. We greatly appreciate these efforts.
+
+After talking to many community organizers we have heard consistent
+feedback that they would like better collaboration between organizers and
+the Go project. We are forming the Community outreach Working Group (CWG)
+to help support these community efforts.
+
+## The CWG Mission
+
+The mission of the CWG is to act as a conduit between the broader Go
+community, it’s organizers and the Go project. The CWG will help provide
+the structures and community management necessary to create an online and
+in person community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in. The
+CWG leadership represents the Go project in these efforts.
+
+**The CWG is responsible for:**
+
+ - Defining programs to facilitate deeper collaboration across the community.
+ - Facilitating the coordination of Go events
+ - Establishing growth and expansion plans for the community
+ - Project exposure and accessibility
+ - Ecosystem Development
+
+**Leadership:**

+
+## Plans for Action
+
+The CWG has an [open GitHub repo](https://github.com/golang/cwg) we’ve created for complete transparency
+of our efforts. We have various [GitHub projects](https://github.com/golang/cwg/projects) which are acting as our
+primary initiatives. Each project has a variety of [issues](https://github.com/golang/cwg/issues) tied to them
+with assignees from our Leadership team and [our members](https://github.com/golang/cwg/issues/15).
