The Get Involved block in the right column.

The two thick buttons "Get Help" and "Development" are confusing and
unnecessary.

Confusing because they seem to relate to the screenshots below them. On
top of this, we have lost the "222 Downloads" common header for both
selected apps, which adds more confusion.

Unnecessary because "Development" is already in the top right nav bar
and I don't think developers are so dumb that they see the thick button
in the middle of the screen in order to see that. In fact I would expect
them to tell us that why are we putting two links to the same place.  :)

About Get Help, if it's not enough to have a "Help" item in the
navigation bar then you might consider moving that very same thick icon
to the right column, between the Get Involved and the banners. 

Or you could even wrap the banners inside a Get Help block together with
the most relevant links for help inside maemo.org. maemo.nokia.com, ITt
and Forum Nokia are indeed good destination for users and developers
with questions, so why not.
