Not at all. What the proposed structure does is a) reduce the top level

Agreed. I've probably worked too much. It's getting hard for me to see
even the obvious... :(
Let's go with a two-level tab bar.

User login, for example, is bad, IMHO. We could make it a "onmouseover div"
style thing. We shouldn't show it all the time. It is ugly in a major way.


Yes, a "Login"/"Logout" link would be much better. Gavin, Urias, or
someone else, could you please help us?

Forums are a better choice than wiki's, IMHO. Or, better yet, email them to
a list where answers can be officially generated and placed in the FAQs if
appropriate. Wikis are really a poor choice for that sort of thing because
it would require knowledgeable people to troll them for questions. Forums
are designed for that sort of threaded structure.


I find mailing lists too complicated for this. IMHO, forums are more
comfortable.
Where should all the non-FAQ answers go? Drupal isn't good enough for
this. A wiki is very open, so everyone can contribute to the knowledge
base. That's why we need a wiki, IMHO.
