Looks good.

If ppl think the area is getting too crowded, one could just link to  
a separate a teams list page (to add ppl who have contributed or  
left). It would also make the side bar less busy. I'm looking at the  
server side bar, of course some teams like QA are small enough to  
list out all the team members. One could also put the team members at  
the bottom and put an anchor tag on the right side bar. It's really  
up to the content owners.

Archive sounds good to me.

I realize this is really Sheila call, but there is just way too much  
information on the right side bar for this page. I'm also not  
familiar with what a 'Hub Server' is, perhaps just Server is fine if  
you're currently linking to 0.7 release page.

My recommendation is to just keep to the high level pages and have  
them link from there to the pages needed. Otherwise everything is  
just getting lost—at least for me trying to access info on this page.  
Also, I seem to have lost my left side nav on this page? It seems to  
be located at the bottom of the wiki page.

Ok. If you are going ahead and changing everything from 'Cosmo' to  
'Server', then we probably want to change the titles in the quick  
links as well. Or at least have Chandler Server (Cosmo) Blog—if we  
are not going to revise the blog right away.

This conversation probably coincides with your request earlier to  
remove the Cosmo name/logo entirely from the wiki.

Ok. I think I'm confused. So where/when do we use this side bar? For  
other pages which may need a side bar       besides the high level  
teams page? Or is this a suggestion for adding the includes to a  
sidebar?

Oh, I also started to notice changes in the left nav. Could I request  
for a 'glossary' under Coming Soon?
Looks good. =)

Thanks,-Priscilla
