I still think "Learn" is better than "Ask". "Ask" is good to reflect mail/forum/IRC, but shadows documentation. True, from "Learn" to 'support forums' there is a gap, but I think the meaning is better covered than using "Ask". If we find the 'I want to ask something' use case is relevant we can have a 'GNOME FAQ' promo in the homepage linking to the usual sources of questions & answers. About nouns vs verbs. Sometimes we look for things (nouns), sometime for actions (verbs). 5 static words will partially fail in all cases, no matter which combination we pick. The navigation bar is not standing alone. In fact it's a strip in a page with other primary focus of attention. The navigation bar needs to be effective in this context. People looking for something specific should find it in the big items of the homepage or in the search box we will provide. If we go for verbs we are inciting an active, moving experience, which is appropriate for the GNOME mantra. If we ask ourselves what is GNOME (in one sentence) we will probably realize that the trend is to define it more as a process than a thing. GNOME moves, and the nav bar verbs help setting the tone and direction of this movement.

Either if you find "Development" or "Create" you need to make an assumption before clicking. > I'm on google searching for something, and then going to a site. E.g., "documentation > for burning cds in gnome" or something. Agreed, but this has very little to do with the nav bar. The title of the page is much more important and we won't put "Learn" as title for the page where we explain how to burn CDs in GNOME. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
