I think it's something about the phrasing. That link is named for the type of people expected to want it. The other links are named for the type of thing they link to. Maybe "Development" would be better, but ... The first thing I tried was to click on "Site map", which has a breakdown of some of the top-level tabs. If it had a breakdown of what's under "Developers", that would be pretty reasonable to my mind. Since this section has stuff relevant to both people developing SQLite and people using it, I think it's reasonable to be pretty high up in the tree. Also, most stuff under "Developers" could be fairly considered forms of "Documentation" or "Support". Even "Support" could be fairly broken up between the email info (which is sort of groupable with "Documentation" or "Developers") and the part about purchased support contracts (which you could maybe group with "License" somehow). Lastly, I'm inclined to remove the "Home" link, and just make sure the logo always links to the top page. It's not so much that the link is redundant, more that it's just not that useful, since the home page is mostly just background info for people fresh to the product. Once they've browsed down into things, they probably don't need to pop back up. Of course, people coming in via a deep link from a search engine might want to pop back up, but I'd think that they'd mostly be able to figure it out, or click "Site Map" and then click the relevant link. Hmm, and "About" might be a more descriptive name for what's currently labeled "Home". Most sites have a "Home" page, which is just a launchpad to more specific info, and an "About" page which tells you about the site. In this case they're one and the same, so I think the more specific label works better. -scott ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
