Not suggestions, exactly, but a few notes on the site: I designed the site in 2014. The style was rather retro even then. Most of it is hand-coded PHP+CSS. There is no content management system driving it, but since it isn't usually touched by non-programmers, this hasn't been an issue as far as I know. Mobile browsing wasn't as ubiquitous in 2014 as it has since become. I still don't own a smartphone. Based on what I know of how the interfaces work, I would guess that the main usability problem with the current design is the lack of enough padding around the nav links for them to work well with a touch interface. This was discussed a bit at the time, but everyone agreed that we were targetting the website at desktops. Alas, this is no longer a safe assumption. The best way of dealing with the menu crowding is probably to add some kind of slide-out functionality for Javascript-equipped browsers. Or we could take the opportunity to redesign from scratch, but if we're going to do that, I'd like to know before I get too much deeper into the guts of MediaWiki's revised skinning system. The nav menu redundancies are due to the headers being links—for the sake of uniformity, they all had to point somewhere, even when the destination was a duplicate of another link. The ideal way to remove the redundancies would be to de-link all of the headers, but that means adding some small links. Or we could just remove the redundant "Bugs" and "Wiki" header links and leave the rest. The one actual *suggestion* I'd like to make is that we expand the "CLAs" nav link into something like "License Agreements", because I had to blink at it for several moments before I was able to figure out what it was (especially since the top search result is "Conjugated Linoleic Acids" . . .)
