Ok. That's important. The point of the site *is* for the uninitiated,
for the most part.

I like the the changes, although how about :
1) Put 'Getting Started' (or change to 'Home') under About us, you can
get back to the Commons home page from anywhere.
2) I don't like the phrase 'Commons Proper'. How about just
'Components'. And only use 'Commons' when talking about the subproject
as a whole.
