Something we should consider during any redesign is whether we want to 
continue using hover menus - 
http://uxmovement.com/navigation/why-hover-menus-do-users-more-harm-than-good/ 
argues against them.

Also, this can probably be easily fixed on the current site but the 
Developers hover menu is out of sync with 
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/index.html (which appears if you click 
the Developers title) - the Repository links aren't available other than 
from the hover menu.  Also, "Release Engineering" is linked to from the 
"Get FreeBSD" menu but is on the "Developers" page.
