Certainly. If we rely on the wiki alone it's easy to stop discussing and start feeling distant from the process, but at the same time I feel that creating a wiki page gives this endeavour a little more substance and makes it just a little more official :). Let's keep the discussion going here in addition to updating the wiki with its progress. > I am not a fan of pop-up menus on web pages, they can be hard to > navigate and are mostly unusable by keyboard navigation.

This is definitely something the UX project should have a strong say in; we should consider all the possible options with regard to wite navigation. For now though, we can list a number of ideas to get the ball rolling, so please add yours to the wiki page. > I like your suggestion for links in footer.

If we can keep the discussion reasonably broad at this stage and agree on some fundamentals (from the website project's point of view), that would be ideal. In-depth, point-by-point discussion can always come later, when we involve other projects (the marketing project will probably have lots to say about the navigation).
