Hi Michelle,

For discussion's sake, here's your list of links:

    * FAQs
    * Contact
    * Values
    * Getting Involved
    * Contributor Agreement 

I like the strategy of having self-contained topics on separate pages. So, a separate \
page for Values and Code of Conduct is good (especially given Peter's comments). And \
I like the FAQs, Contact, and Getting Involved links for separate pages on that \
content. I'm not so sure about including a link to the Contributor Agreement on the \
About page. It makes sense to have that content on a separate page, but it seems too \
detailed to be included on the About page, given the other links. Could there be a \
link to it from the Getting Involved page?

I agree that the Roadmap could go elsewhere, and I like your idea of moving it to \
part of the site related to Consolidations.

I like having the Site Map in the About section of the left navigation bar. And, like \
you said, it should be consistent with what's actually on the site.

Cheers,
