Yes, but that was back when ON was the only consolidation on os.o.  All
of those things that you mention (the DevRef, flag day notices, and gate
schedule) are specific to ON.

This begs the question of what the left-hand nav bar is for.  Is it to
help people get oriented, or is it to optimize access to the most
frequently accessed pages?  If it's to help people get oriented, I think
the choices should reflect the breadth of the communities (without being
overwhelming).  Or the list could reflect the variety of ways someone
could get involved (e.g., developer, tester, translator, writer, user).
If it's just to optimize access to certain pages, then I'd prefer that
they be listed as "most popular communities" (or something like that).

Would it look too busy to have short lists of key and most-popular
communities?

BTW, I notice that the communities page has a "key communities" box in
the right-hand nav bar.   The description for ON should probably be
something like

	Kernel, core libraries and utilities.
