It is quite clear that the Get Involved link does not belong to
Development! Get Involved should cover all topics - user and developer. It
probably belongs in the Home section. Again - thank you Michael for your
feedback.
Cheers

Apologies for not following the entire discussion,
throwing my 2 cents
in for what I skimmed, best, Michael
Great, Michael, thank you for your feedback. I also thought that there
would be a good idea that the first level of the menu would continue to be
as links, for exactly the same purpose as you state.
DEVELOPMENT: Get Involved, GIT, API Docs,
Library Projects,
Translations, Resources
That's more than sufficient links, IMHO. ("Resources" is explained
below.) I promoted "Get Involved" to the top because it's really the
first thing we want new visitors to see in this section. The text on
the "Help Wanted" page should possibly be re-written to take current
infrastructure into account (list things people can do without having
to explicitly make contact with the dev team, and where to go to do
it).
The target of "Development" should probably be transferred to a
lower-level link "Resources", which can then serve as a catch-all
portal for the development tools.
I’d also make the "Development" link go to a summary page of ALL the
development type information. Do make sure to put a link-able TOC at
the top of that page! Why? We users do click on these, but with just a
link we have no idea what a ‘Gitea’ is and hence we’re not real likely
to ever even try to help with it.

Disagree. Headers, and this is arguable in UIX land, should link to a
summary page for each of the items in the menu.
"Get
Trinity" has the same destination as "Releases".
"Get Trinity" is better UIX, drop "Releases" if you have too.
"Support" has the same destination as
"Contact".
You want both links and while going to the same place is fine,
"Support" really should go to a summary page that lists the email lists,
where to file code bug reports, where to submit website bug reports, ...
Other
If it’s not already there, a TLM of “How you can help” linking to a
summary page of all the ways anyone (dev or user) can help TDE is really
desirable. There (should!) be too many items under this, so do not have
any sub-menus.
Hmm, this like the "Development" link could go the a wiki page, so that
it can be maintained easier. (Plus the wiki already has link-able TOCs)
