[dissent-tech] our overflowing side menu

[jono]

hi,
it is getting a bit hard to navigate the site, and
this for people who know what to look for.
can i suggest making a primary menu, and a secondary one?
So that someone new to the site will find what they are
likely looking for right away, while organizing info 
is in a second section.

Something like dividing the menu items as follows:
 	
Main Menu
---------------------
Home
Dissent! Introduction
What is the G8?
Local Groups
Working Groups
Funding*
Action Information
Calendar
Networking eList** 
External Web Forum 
Media
Contact Us ***

* [this should soon be changed to "donate" and with PayPal] 

**[this could be just "email lists" as we should also allow people to
subscribe to an "announce list" given the crazy traffic.  Can an announce
list be created?]

***[new potentiall dodgy item, which could link to working groups, but i
think we will need to have an elist which responds to inquiries as we get
closer to the summit.  At the very least, a clear page which tells people
which working groups to contact, depending on the nature of the inquiry]



Secondary Menu [need a name for it]
------------------
Global & Translations *
News
Newsletter
Gatherings
Education Roadshow
Climate Action Group
Training
Legal
Medical
Past Mobilisations **
Image Gallery
Document Downloads
Web Links
Weather in Perth***

* [this is actually a working group, and could go there.  What is perhaps 
more useful is to have "International Page" as an item in the Main menu
which has links to the international sites (french, german, spanish, are
there others?  As well as the international networking elist info.  At 
some point, the front page to dissent could first be where the user 
chooses their language.]

**[could also go in document downloads]

***[do we need this]

Events Menu [maybe not needed, but these two items clearly
should go somewhere else - perhaps on the right hand side]

Festival of Dissent
Derby M17



I can lend a hand - just let me know what to do,
and what is agreed to do.
