My understanding is that the website IA remains the same - it's the
look&feel that the contribution is about.
The problem is, as has been mentioned in the JENA-482 comments, that the
current site has a multi-level navigation hierarchy: once you get into a
topic - say, documentation, the LH menu expands to show more options.
This serves both to orient the user and to progressively offer more
options than can fit in a single menu level. Samuel's initial redesign
doesn't have navigation affordances below the top-level menu, something
he said he was going to look at. Whether that's IA or just site L&F is
somewhat a grey area: the current directory structure isn't changing but
the overall site structure as experienced by the user is.
