Okay, after futzing around with a bunch of different options, I settled on this one:

Instead of having links to all 6 (Features, FAQ, Known Issues, Get Started Guide, Release Notes, Troubleshooting) pages on each page, I link to Release Notes and Troubleshooting as a ---++ header from only the 'relevant' pages.

+ Release Notes is accessible through the Features page.
+ Troubleshooting is accessible from FAQ and Known Issues pages.

I also removed the x-links from the Release Notes page because they already exist in the lefthand nav: Download, Features, Get Started, etc. However I did keep the links to Cheeseshop and Contributed Builds and put them in a right-hand nav.

It's not perfect, but I think in this case having fewer points of access might be less confusing than cross-linking everything from everywhere. We can easily tweak based on user feedback as we go along.

Hi Philippe, should we link to think from the FAQ?
I added a link in the FAQ already but it's not at the top like "Features | Known Issues | Get Started Guide". Actually, the same is true for the Release Notes which I also linked from the FAQ.

It seems to me that those 6 pages (FAQ, Features, Known Issues, Get Started Guide, Release Notes and Trouble Shooting) should all be pretty much be at the same level. Would be nice to have all of them on a right hand column of links or something like that. Using a clickable list line as we do today might not be workable for 6 links.

BTW, thanks to Grant for correcting my approximative English grammar on that page :)

Cheers,
