Hello, sorry for cross post, but I think this might be interesting to a 
larger crowd then just the web list...

I have now enabled LDAP for the site, which means you can now log in 
using your OSGeo ID. If you want to be able to create / edit content, 
please log in and then send me your OSGeo ID, so that I can give you 
better access rights.

Then you can start creating content. But before everybody goes in and 
adds their favorite page, I'd like to spend a few moments talking about 
site structure.

Here is my proposal:
1) The primary links (on the top) should be sort of shortcuts to the 
most used pages:
    * About / FAQ
    * Features
    * Download
    * Screenshots
    * Docs and/or Manuals
    * <Maybe some other?>
2) The site structure should be made visible via an expanding navigation 
menu like this:
    * Features
       * One page describing each feature
    * Documentation
       * Many different documentation pages
    * Community
       * Community pages here
    * Development
       * Developer pages here

What sections do you people think would be good and clear to have?

That is pretty much it for now. Please contribute ideas or maybe you 
have an alternative?

An alternative to my expanding menu could be to have a main navigation 
menu and then have a section menu appear for each section once the user 
goes there, but IMHO an expanding menu would be clearer.

I have made galleries for the screenshots, I'd like some feedback on 
them as well.

May the migration begin!
