=A few observations= * +1 on More not being useful in this schema. * Several folks have commented to me that distinction between Q&A and Chat categories is not intuitive. * Unless we provide example-only or code-only pages, I'm not sure how that would manifest. =An alternate global nav= Can we help users out with our current architecture of the site by handing them those actual categories? We could do content types: | Reference | Concepts & Tuts | Community | About | Blog | Join | Where these pages point to the following subcategories: ==Reference== Platform APIs (ptr to /apis/) "DOM" APIs CSS APIs SVG APIs JavaScript Language & Libraries ==Concepts & Tuts== (aka, Docs: landing page that points to: beginners, general_concepts, html, css, accessibility, javascript, dom, svg) ==Community== Forums IRC Mail list ==Abou== Latest news (ptr to Blog) What it is How it was formed General Philosophy Stewards How you can join (ptr to Join) ==Join== Register for this site Register for email list Logon to IRC Check out the forum Contribute (ptr to Getting_Started) J ---------------------------- julee@adobe.com @adobejulee -----Original Message----- From: Chris Mills <cmills@opera.com> Date: Friday, December 7, 2012 3:43 AM To: "public-webplatform@w3.org" <public-webplatform@w3.org> Subject: Proposal for updating links on webplatform.org Resent-From: <public-webplatform@w3.org> Resent-Date: Friday, December 7, 2012 3:43 AM >Hi all, > >One action I got from the public meeting earlier in the week was to think >about better things to link the main navigation items on webplatform.org >to.
