I'm -0 to hiding the commons proper links. I think that they are a key part of letting us and users navigate around the commons site, and are part of keeping it one community. Also, the maven collapsable stuff is slow and clunky and I basically hate it. (the sandbox is different for other reasons)
I would prefer to try reversing the order of project docs and commons links before any talk of collapsable.
