Description Petr Pisar 2005-10-12 23:52:12 UTC
On the main page http://www.gentoo.org/ are links that can confuse an user.

In the leftside menu there is section "Documentation" with items "Main Index"
and "About Gentoo". But in the top bar there are items "About" and "Docs". These
two correspondig pairs are called different but link to the same documents.

Secondly, the section "About" and "Docs" are on the same level, but "About
Gentoo" is underneath "Documentation".

Uhm? I can't see anything confusing about this; besides, the top menu obviously
has a limited width...
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2005-10-13 00:40:15 UTC
You have two differnt ways on the one page howto go to the same place. This is
realy confusing. One link is enough. The second should be removed.

Compare left and top bar. As you can see, the structure of the left bar is:

+Documenation
 +Main Index
 +About Gentoo

The top bar views:

+About
+Docs

This is inconsistent. You need to decide if About is under the Docs or if About
is beside Docs.
Comment 3 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-13 05:15:18 UTC
Users view things in different ways.  We provide multiple paths to get to the
information.  I disagree that this is confusing.

Marking as invalid.
