Probably worth moving forward on this? Submenus are important, we have a lot of content and it's not well organised. And arguably the theme is better, and arguably even if it isn't better it's a change, and is no worse...

I think that is fairly universal. New layout is fine. I am not convinced about the way the site has been split up however.

But shouldn't both be under Contribute? > > Support & feedback > help --documentation and stuff > faq --move out from help section > mailing lists > suggestions What about the wiki? Shouldn't it be on the same level as the uservoice tracker? How about: Home - Home - What is Freenet? - Download Freenet About: - Philosophy - Papers - People Contribute: - Developer page - Donate - Sponsors Help: - Docs - FAQ - Mailing lists - Suggestions - Wiki Too many links? Depends on the theme I guess... Actually, I'm not convinced we want to keep the documentation pages: - Install only applies to the java installer, needs some typo fixes and a new final screenshot, and some guidance on the post-install wizard. - Connect: needs updating but is basically acceptable. - Content: dunno, isn't this more About? but i'm not sure we want to move it there... - Understand: maybe keep - Freemail: probably keep, is sort of official - Frost: dunno, we don't ship it, and we don't review it, but at the moment we recommend it ... - jSite: keep - Thaw: see Frost - FAQ: should be at a higher level - Wiki: should be at a higher level
