The top-level site navigation bar is largely unchanged since the last big
[redesign](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/498#issuecomment-29505676)
in #498. The only changes have been to restore the Copyright link (#549), add
the Communities link (#3301), and convert History and Export to secondary links
(#5151).
There’s now a cluster of discussions (#3041, #6506, #6517, #6575, and
associated forum topics) jockeying for additions or other changes to the
navigation bar based on anecdotal feedback. Some of these discussions have
converged on the same need to rethink the overall selection of links. To ground
the discussion, can we get:
* Updated criteria for what should go in the navigation bar, elaborating on the
points in
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3041#issuecomment-780445950
and
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/6575#issuecomment-3607600626
– which concrete use cases do we consider important enough to provide direct
access to on every page of the site?
* Agreement on where else we’d be willing to move any link that doesn’t make
the cut
* [Data from
Matomo](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/this-forum-is-really-hard-to-find-actually/138968/8)
about which links people actually use
* Insights from informal usability tests that folks have done with less
experienced users
For what it’s worth, I hold out some hope that we can still make some
common-sense changes in the meantime while waiting for a major overhaul, but
information along these lines would help us make decisions more easily in the
future.
