Thanks Bob for bringing us back to the subject topic of the email.  I started us off in the wrong direction since I was looking on the docs.geomoose.org pages.  My plan on that is to clean it up.

Yes, thoughts on top bar (of geomoose.org, not docs.geomoose.org)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by User and Community help pages.  I think DOCUMENTATION is a critically important top bar tab.
I'd be fine adding a SUPPORT top bar tab, although as Jim pointed out, I missed several more obvious locations.  To increase visibility of that more important stuff down page, reducing the 'news' might be a good idea.  Also, generally I'm opposed to too many top bar tabs so I have a slight hesitation.

I was trying to minimize the requirement for new buttons, but if you think Docs needs it's own button (which only switches to doc.geomoose.org??) then that's fine by me.  I was  thinking that doc could contain the link to doc.sharedgeo, along with other peripheral items like user tips, etc. but with things at the top level.

I'm not sure I understand this.

Right inside of the GeoMoose application as distributed.  Same top bar links as in the GeoMOOSE.org site.  So when the demo is set up , it has links back to the GeoMOOSE site from the app.
