My main pet-peev with the current site(s) is the jumble of links at
the top of the page (next to the logo).  These links sometimes go to
different sites with an entirely differnt look and sometimes the site
they go to has differnet links at the top of the page.

IMO:

1- Links at the top (next to the logo) should all stay within
www.gnome.org and be consistant througout the site.

2- Links to other gnome.org famly sites (developer, art, whatever)
should be in the far upper right corner of the page (on top of the
header image).  If not up in the corner, at least make it clear that
they are not in-site navigation.
