Hi!

I think that's standard across all KDE sites. It was in the stylesheet I used.

Yes, the names and structure are probably poor. But it doesn't go very deep (I 
tried to make it that way) and deep menu trees are kind of uncomfortable 
anyway, right? But you're definitely right, it could use improvement.

It was there in the beginning. But the structure was kind of awkward to work 
with, so I removed it. When improving the site we can come up with some way 
to make it work again.

I think it still points at Jono's address. (not sure) (anyone: Did Jono stop 
working on KDE?)

This code is also taken from other pages (namely office.kde.org). It is indeed 
not very obvious you have to click on the title. Maybe an excerpt of the news 
article should be shown with a "More..." link?
Anyway, if this gets changed it should be coordinated with other sites.

Agreed. It says that you can learn about the project, but doesn't tell you 
what it is :-)
