Hello ksosez, Here are my comments, feedback. When I am at www.mozilla.org, if I click Developers docs' link, I end up at a sub-site page called "catalog" which has the title "Mozilla documentation". Sorry, but this does not strike me as perfectly coherent, intuitive, expectable from a user's perspective. Then, I see 8 sub-sections with a few descriptive words. I personnaly think that this page layout should be a site map of all major block of references and docs available at mozilla.org organized within a menu. If you describe the top-most link as "Developer docs", then your sub-site pages better be consistant with such top-level link. Otherwise, your structure, architecture of the info is inconsequent. That means a tree-like of docs, references (organized within a menu of drop-down lists) which is not too wide and with a logical way of dividing into smaller parts, chuncks a general, abstract whole. When I go in a restaurant, I expect to read a basic, short, compact description of main dish if I ask to see the menu; I don't expect to see the wine list. What I'm trying to say here is that such "catalog" page should really address what was the first description of the link which lead to that page, otherwise, you're already confusing the user: he's disoriented, lost... why should there be a link titled "Old documentation layout" in the "catalog" page?
