Herbert, Austin, right, I didn't notice link to Newcomers is on the "Working on GHC" page. I rearranged it slightly by reversing first three steps. So link to Newcomers is now first on the list and I think it might stay that way. Link to "Working on GHC" is also in the second paragraph of the main wiki page, so I think we're good.
As for the sidebar I'm using it on a regular basis although I feel some links could be removed: Documentation -> Repositories; Debugging; View Tickets -> By Milestone; By OS; By Architecture; But that's only my opinion - I'm CCing ghc-devs so others can chime in. If we could somehow track how often each link is used that could be a valuable information. Not sure if it can be done.
