Agreed, don't separate these groups then. We use headers according to what people want to achieve by visiting the site rather than "title" So the three things that one should be able to achieve here are: Obtain the software or the source code or documentation or Art - Hence "Download" Find out how to Use it, Build it, Market it, where to get it and so on - Hence "Learn" Upon rethinking I will change the last one to "Participate" rather than contribute.
