Don't worry, I will not change anything now :) But we will have to do something about this sooner or later. Today there are 14 difrent menus, and many of them are, or are almost, identical. This is not the way to build a joomla site. Instead of translating 2-3-4 menus, we now have to translate 14.
To change this will not affect the layout of the page in any major way, it will just make the maintainance easier. Several of the menus only have 2-3 items, and here it would look much better if we use an expanding menu. (dropdown or similar) We also have to "kick start" the buletinboard soon. So we need a discussion about the content there. Norwegian, English, German, Spanish...
