absolutely and I believe in redoing the navigation would involve redoing the site. If anyone would like to share any other mock ups other than mekius go ahead..... I personally like simple site designs like this: http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs30/i/2008/126/3/0/Inkscape_Site_devel____front_by_duckgoesoink.png(flame me if you want) minus the fact that I think the "inkscape in brief" section should be just a wider news section and take the little news box off the side. but I like designs like that because they list all the links to the different web software. Songbird does this on their site too.... but their site is a little too busy http://getsongbird.com/ just my thoughts....
