Ok, I suggest "Foundation" also be a toplevel heading which takes you to
the foundation website.

This would go under "The Desktop" since they are contributor
things.

There will be quite a few things on the sidebar, and we should 
probably go over each area one-by-one and figure out exactly
what goes in each area.  First we need to agree on an initial set
of toplevel navigation controls.  If later on we can't resolve
where things should go, we start over.
