How to manage foundation navigation in gnome.org site



Hello All,

I am Yu Liansu the internship of OPW, recently working on art and web stuff design. I'm writing to all of you to discussion about integrate foundation website into gnome.org as my mentor Andreas Nilsson suggest me to do so.

so the two things I would like to see a good structure accomplish is: 1. Make all parts of the website feel less disconnected from each other, and 2. Clutter the main site with too much organizational structure about the project
and those two are hard to fix at the same time

There are several competing ideas. Each with an example:
  1. We can make a foundation icon to replace GNOME.ORG in the head of this site, like language switch. The foundation's navigation may have the same style as gnome.org, but different logo and footer. Example:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
    (notice the upper-right corner the link to mozilla organization)
  2. We can integrate foundation site into the main navigation, e.g. in "About Us" add a new section. Example:
    http://www.ubuntu.com/business
    (notice the "Contact Canoncial" which is the only place the company name appear, it's a level 2 navigation item)
  3. I guess nobody support this but it doesn't hurt mentioning. OpenSuSE put their facilitating organization (Novell) at page footer:
    http://www.opensuse.org

So we have "put on header", "integrate to navigation" and "put to footer", each with an example from foss projects. Andreas thinks of collecting opinions so here am I asking for it.
