Here's my shot at an simplified layout: 
http://www.freekde.org/neil/kdetesting/

This draft is static HTML.  I won't bother writing PHP to implement it 
until I know it'll be used.

Goals:

* Allow all three kinds of users (KDE contributors, KDE users, non-KDE 
users) to find what they want
* Keep the navigation in one list
* Make it easy for a reader to follow the flow of the document
* Strict XHTML compliance
* Support screen and print media (Try View->Use Stylesheet in Konqueror)
* Support different user environments:  Text and graphical browsers 
(Starting at 600 pixels)

Known problems so far:

* That header graphic doesn't quite fit in as-is
* The three sections of the main body (about kde, announcements, news) 
could use some color to emphasize the organization
* I don't know the print version of display: none; to hide the top bar and 
right bar
* Once I go below about 575 pixels in Konqueror, the side bar breaks in 
half

Criticism of the code welcomed.
