I agree with Bob's suggestions about changes in the reorganizing of the menu 
items.

However, I'm not sure I like the idea of splitting the FAQ into General, 
Developer, and Administrator. I quite often use FAQs when I'm troubleshooting 
and I really don't want to have to play "guess the author's categorization 
scheme" and in many cases I think I'd end up looking in three places instead of 
one.

Essentially, add new top-level heading called "Documentation", and move all 
documentation topics under it.
Also, under new "Documentation" heading, create new category called  
"Administrator/Installation" Documentation.  Move appropriate docs under it.
See outline below.
What's Hot!  (no change)
==============
* FOSSBazaar
* Video Tutorials

Do we still need this?



FOSSology   (no change)
====================
* Home
* About FOSSology
* Live Demo
* Contact us
* Related Projects

Does it seem odd to have a FOSSology heading?  The whole website is FOSSology.  
Why not just have the left menu start with "Home", etc with no heading, and add 
the videos link?


User Resources
===========================
* Download
* Mailing Lists
* Screenshots        (move to new Documentation category)
* FAQ                    (move to new Documentation category)
* Release Notes    (move to new Documentation category)
* User Docs         (move to new Documentation category)

That doesn't leave much left in the category.  Why not get rid of User 
Resources and put Download and Mailing Lists into the previous category?  
Screenshots and FAQ are somethings people browsing new to the project would 
want to see right away.  Why not put them into the previous category as well, 
rather than bury them in Documentation.



Developer Resources
===========================
*       Roadmap
*       Source Code
*       Contributing
*       License
*       Login
*       Developer Docs   (move to new Documentation category)
Documentation  (new category)
===========================
*       User            (current "User" docs continue under this link)
*       Developer   (current "Developer" docs continue under this link)
*       Administrator & Installation    (place Installation Procedure, admin 
docs, etc under this link)
*       ReadMe           (moved here from under UserDocs link)
*       Release Notes (moved here from under User Resources head)
*       FAQs              (moved here from under User Resources head)
*    Screenshots    (moved here from under User Resources head)

With this model, I think we might want to split FAQ's into general (in top 
category), Developer (under Developer) and Administrator (under that link).
