I fully agree with removing/renaming/placing under a sub-page things like
Bugzilla and wiki (which mean little to those not already involved in
open-source projects).

Well if we do say documentation, there's no harm in taking them to a page
with the 4 sections (clearly delineated). In fact even if we don't have a
Documentation link I think it might still be useful to have a page with all
of the docs listed.

+1 from me.

Cheers,

P.S. Keep up the good design work everyone :)
