Neat this sounds great! But curious on some technical details...
The order specified for Community and Contribute menu links are
different than the existing entries on the site (and it's missing some
of the links too, like the "Support Evergreen" link under current
Contribute).
Has there been further discussion in other threads about the menu links
and what's included and/or the order for them?
Will these changes also affect the landing pages associated with the
links? Should communicate.php now instead be community.php page, with
appropriate page title, links on that page changed, etc.
Thanks,
-- Ben

Hi Kathy,
Yea, I was torn about the Chat language. Thanks for the feedback.
I'm happy to go with your changes. So that would be:
_Community_
Chat
Mailing Lists
Official Blog
Community Blogs
Users Groups (note new addition)
Calendar
_Contribute_
Develop Code
Report Bugs
Donate to Evergreen
Committees and Working Groups
Request Feature

Hi Lori,
I like using community and contribute.
However, I would be inclined to put Chat under community rather
than contribute. Also, I prefer the old language “chat” to calling
it a “Developer Chatroom”. There are non-developers who
participate or just lurk in IRC, and I wouldn’t want to discourage
other non-developers from doing the same. It’s also used for DIG,
reports task force, and community meetings, so I would say the
audience goes beyond developers.
Otherwise, it looks good to me!
Kathy

page to the wiki
Here's what I propose for changing the Menus on the Evergreen Home
page. Instead of Communicate and Contribute, we make them
Community and Contribute.
Here's what I think should be under Community:
Mailing Lists
Official Blog
Community Blogs
Users Groups (note new addition)
Calendar
Under Contribute:
Develop Code
Report Bugs
Developer Chatroom (note new language and new position on menu)
Donate to Evergreen (note this is slightly different language)
Committees and Working Groups
Request Feature (note new language)
Thoughts?

Drupal has a section called "community" and under that:
Online and local groups
Events and Meetups
Chat (IRC)
Planet Drupal
Community Spotlight
Commercial Support
Forum
Mailing Lists
Maybe the "Community" would encapsulate what we are trying to do
as well?
Thanks!

I love the idea to have user group info in the wiki!
I'm a little concerned about moving from "Communicate" to
"Participate", because the latter seems closer in meaning to
"Contribute" and thus muddies the navigation a bit to my mind. But I
guess one could argue that to communicate is to contribute, so things
are already muddy.
Has anyone checked what other projects (that we admire for their
community support & clarity of their web site) do? Drupal.org &
Fedoraproject.org have some interesting similarities in their
navigation wording choices...
