Yes, that path is too complicated and surely has to be improved, but the
solution you proposed is not the best one IMHO.
As other have pointed out, the Products are end-user related. Having a
Chart-icon there is not a problem, but the page that will be loaded when
the user clicks that icon should get the end-user related info. (the
"marketing blabla")

Others have requested to add a "Development" button back to the toptabs.
My position towards this did not change: If you can provide a nice entry
page that can be linked to, then I'm all for it. But
development.openoffice.org isn't really a nice page. It wouldn't help
adding the chart module or others there, the visitors still will be
confused.

If however there was a page similar to the contributing one (i.e. with a
clean entry point from where you can navigate deeper to the area that
is of interest for you), then I see no problem in adding that link back.

For the meantime, adding an alias http://chart.openoffice.org might make
it more obvious for people already a bit familiar with the OOo websites
(how else should a user know that it is part of graphics?)..
