(Use = getting started information.) +1 for using download. The download is something users are looking for but I think we don't need to add 'Use' there as well. the quick start information can be a link under documentation and even if we add a link to that next in the download page I think it does not have to be reflected in the main navigation link. > > 2) Community is a commonly used word among developers, so it's used in > the mockup for similar reasons.
