Thanks Josh,

I like the general categories you set up. I would probably be a little more 
terse in the naming of the links:

General
* About
* Downloads
* License
* FAQ

Documentation
* Installation
* User's Guide
* Managing Images
* Administration

Community
* Get Involved
* Mailing Lists
* Wiki

ASF
* Apache Software Foundation
* Thanks
* Become a Sponsor

I like the idea of having a FAQ page, though perhaps that could be part of a 
wiki?

I think the "Requirements for using VCL" should be part of the Installation 
guide (which I think should go under Documentation). I wasn't sure how VCL 
Installer Docs differed from Installation Guide, but having both links is 
confusing. 

I would also take out "Latest Release", since the "Downloads" page should 
contain that information. 

I was unclear what "VCL Support" meant so I wouldn't include it.

I also would remove "Becoming a committer" because that should be part of the 
"Get Involved" page. Finally, I might add a link for a wiki, since ASF will 
provide access to one if we wish -- do you think that would be useful for the 
project?
