Web site structure
Sebb pointed out, rightly, that the downloads page was difficult to
find[1]. (It was buried in the documentation section.) I moved it to
the home page. I also added information about Apache, which are
required to do by the branding guidelines[2].
Take a look at the work-in-progress web site[3].
Anything else I could do to improve the navigation?

After re-reading the issue that Sebb filed, it looks good to me.
A very minor nit is that I'd add a few pixels of left and right padding
to the ASF "The contents of this website are" banner at the bottom of
the screen. I always think that's hard to read when text is right next
to the border of the browser window.
(also, thanks for already adding me to the committers list)

OK, so I replaced the previous top-level menu [home, documentation, talks, news, help, develop] with [home, download, community, develop, news, docs].
“Download” is now a top-level menu item, as it should be.
To make way for it, I deleted the “help” and “talks” pages. The new “community” page contains the “project members” and “mailing lists” sections of the “develop” page, the entire old “help” and “talks” pages.
The “contributing” page has also gone; its content is now on the “develop” page.
I added contents to the HOWTO, “community” and “develop” pages.
The information Alexander requested in the “about” page is already in the main “Background” section in “doc” page.
Please review the latest iteration at http://calcite.hydromatic.net/ <http://calcite.hydromatic.net/>.

Re: Web site structure

Both good suggestions — I will implement them.
I hesitate to use “about” since on corporate sites “about” usually contains “investors, executive team, contact”, but yes, “talks” does not warrant a top-level menu.

Hi,
Section "talks" could be replaced with "about" which will contain information
about what is Calcite in it's core, it's goals and purpose. And leave links to
talks on that page as wider description of Calcite.
Not about navigation, but probably would be useful to add link to api doc
for example/csv on docs/adapter.html (like for other adapters).
