Out of the three options I think integrating the foundation site into 
the main site under About Us is the best.
The reason for this is that the Foundation is just an implementation 
detail of the project if you think about it.
For the actual navigation, I think a sidebar could work a lot better 
than a subnav just beneath the main navigation, as we want to be careful 
with making the header part to tall. If I recall correctly there is 
already a page template on gnome.org for this.

For the actual menu, there is currently a lot of different items in the 
foundation navigation sidebar on http://foundation.gnome.org I think we 
can do some effort to reduce the number of pages there.

* About the foundation - this duplicates some of the info on the other 
pages and can to some extent be merged with the first page
* Blog - this could be considered as of our news story that Allan 
mentioned in his last e-mail 
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2011-June/msg00044.html
* Reports - not foundation specific, but actually more of a project-wide 
thing
* Membership - pretty ok
* Election - Wiki material?
* Legal - part of a bigger legal page perhaps?
* Finance - Wow, this is really outdated.
* Contact - merge into http://www.gnome.org/contact/ ?
* Press - we already link to that elsewhere
* Donate - same as above. We could actually promote that on the 
gnome.org frontpage. That gets a lot more views.
