Just my 2 cents worth for whatever that's worth, but I would put the blog and the news on the home page - it would give the website a more dynamic feel, I think.
Then to keep the newbies and non-techies on track, you make the first menu section 'What is Maven?'. -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 March 2005 19:45 To: Lukasz Bajorski Cc: Maven Users List Subject: Maven Site Navigation WAS: New Maven Site is Live Hi Lukasz, I've had feedback in both directions for this. Before the navigation was quite condensed, and people very rarely could find what they wanted. My strategy here was that a familiar user could get where they wanted in one click, while a "newbie" should find what they want either in the first two sections of the Nav, or by reading the intro text. I'd be happy to hear more from yourself and other people with experience in this area though, as I am really not an expert.
