Mailing lists are already there, so forums suck ;-) A decent list of the lists available would rock, as would nice searchable archives. However, google and gmane take care of the latter requirement, which is hard to implement...

- I think fly out menus on Web pages just don't Feel Good (not to mention the debatable usability problems they might introduce[2]). See Mike D.'s comments on that article which pretty much sums up my rationale and implementation. Still not convinced, but that's just me. We don't have such a deep structure or information density, I would simply put a context navigation on the left (or right) for each section but not on the homepage, like on this two pages: http://www.mozilla.org/support/ http://www.mozilla.org/about/ Very simple. Not really. Just the opposite actually, confusing. My design is certainly more simple than mozilla's. Inconsistent page layout. I like sites that have a consistent layout throughout, including the homepage. It's confusing when the navigation changes on a page by page basis. In my case there's no scheme that the user has to *get*.

In my case there's no scheme that the user has to *get*. I agree that the consistency is a hight priority (nevertheless I find mozilla.org pretty user friendly). I also think a *visible* 2nd level navigation is very important for orientation. Maybe we agree on the basic question of a random visitor on a Web site: A) Where am I? B) Where do I come from (or how did I come here)? C) Where can I go from here? To answer B the page must either have a navigation system in which the context is obvious, or at least a breadcrumb navigation trail. If you have a visible 2nd (and maybe 3rd) level navigation the fly out menus become redundant. Note: I'm not saying that the navigation must change on different sections or that the fly out menus must be disabled to achieve this.
