[General] Re: Teams Area, etc.

[Sheila Mooney]

Mimi,

I agree with Priscilla. I think the right nav is a bit too crowded. I  
think it would be good to see some of the active projects/planning/ 
specs links on the main page. This is  what we are working on. The  
notes can be at the bottom of the page.

People and resources make sense to have on the right nav.

Cheers,
Sheila
