I'm happy to help out in the design space as well as it continues to move forward. One thing I've been a bit concerned about is the left hand navigation. Left-handed navigation takes up a fair amount of prime working real-estate and the user would gain a lot of primary work space if this were moved to the top of the page and horizontally placed. Also, I think that having horizontal navigation would make it much easier as we continue to design for more than 1 level. It feels like the left-hand navigation doesn't scale very well when it acts like the primary navigation. There is an article that was written by Louis Lazaris in 2010 that I think is a really good read when it comes to this discussion: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/11/the-case-against-vertical-navigation/ I'm definitely interested in what others think on this topic!
