ksh93-integration is a very successful community-driven project on 
opensolaris.org that gets bits upstream and makes regular and 
substantive deliveries with good documentation. That is the point of 
Feature Spot, not eye-candy, but to highlight the hardworking community 
projects.

So, everything in the top-left has unique navigation, that is what those 
links have in common. We'll keep working on this and test it in the 
usability study.

Suggestions welcomed. I think these things are very cool, but they take 
you into new left-bar navigation, so that is why they are currently in 
the sidebar.

I think Dan answered these, we'll get user groups into main navigation 
with the new infrastructure and I've requested a new graphic for the 
Help landing page.

Thanks,
