Sharan, Nice job, never easy putting this stuff together.
I like pieces from both – this can’t be an “A” or “B” choice. My 2 cents: Getting Started (B). I like this – I think that most new visitors will click into the section. I would have Business Users before Developers – Solutions (combine from A and B). I like the “By Role” approach. I would look to combine so we would have Solutions -> By Role (with sub options of CEO, CIO etc) and Solutions -> by Business Need (with sub options of ERP, E-Commerce etc.). Documentation (B). A must have, imo. Customers (A). If I’m evaluating OFBiz I would absolutely want to see who else has adopted the platform. Partners (A), same thinking as “Customers”. Community (B). I would combine items from Community / About and News into here. This can also have links to more developer focused content and links. I also think that the Home Page can have a big impact on the layout. For example, Latest News could be on the Home Page (with a link to “All News”) which lessens the priority for having News prominently available on the NavBar. This is the same for the landing pages for the major navbar items. It’s always difficult to put this together and get it right the first time, and right for all viewers. Nice start!

But i really like the idea of having an entry point "by role", it might be only x pages with links to other parts of the website, where we gather most interesting things for each role... Putting it into "Getting Started" menu seems a good way to include it into B design (already got dev and Business User there) . Thanks for the work !
