Howdy,
I like it ;)  Except there's a "Betwixt" section and a "Project
Documentation" section, which I think could be the same section no?  It
is the Betwixt project page after all ;)  Regardless, I want to see
Project Documentation above the general commons menus.  But I imagine
that would be a simple matter of which order the entities were included
right?
