Yeah -- that probably makes sense.

I want the CIA.vc status stuff on the home page, at the top. I think  
it's crucial for setting the tone that we are an active project.

Here's my updated structure:

Home
 - Most recent commit(s)
 - Most recent news
 - Search
 - 'Contribute' call-to-action
 - Screenshot with link to screenshot page
 - Upcoming Events

Get Started
 - Overview
 - Download
 - Installation Procedure
 - Link to Development page

Development
(I'd like the Development section to be a modified and themed version  
of the wiki we currently have. It would need to be cleaned up a lot,  
but I think that that makes the most sense. Also, we'll need to pull  
out all the non-development content from it and move it somewhere  
else... either to another wiki installation or to something like a  
forum.)
 - Documentation
 - Tools
 - Tutorials
 - Manuals
 - Roadmap

News
 - Blog aggregator (using Planet) (includes Unofficial GNUstep blog,  
developer's blogs, Etoile blog, and other related blogs)
 - CIA commits

Applications
(This may also work as a wiki, but should be separate from the  
Development wiki)
 - Featured application (brief overview and screenshots of a  
selected app, to change monthly)
 - Application gallery lists all apps and screenshots of apps

Support
 - Mailing Lists
 - Forums (?)
 - Who's Who
 - Bug Reports

Contribute
 - How to contribute
 - Wishlist (simple things that potential contributers could help  
with, answers the questions "What can I work on? What can I do to  
help?")
 - Donations
