I agree they may be irrelevant for most plugins. However, the more consistent the header, the more tied together everything feels. I actually am always jumping around from section to section (almost always a maven.apache.org page open in a tab already) and it's nice to have those links right there all the time.

I don't mind where the publish date goes as long as it's consistent (maybe bottom is more suitable/traditional). For the links, I find them to be too noisy with all the subprojects. On the main site these were put into the left nav. I think these links are intended to be used for contextual links - how often are you on a plugin site and decide to go to Continuum? So maybe the main site contains those links (though I'd be happy to aggregate frameworks under one link to a subpage), but the plugin sites just link to the things relevant to that plugin (eg, the release site links to the scm site, as does continuum, etc). The breadcrumbs really look after the main navigation from there. WDYT? On 06/04/2007, at 11:03 PM, Brian E.
