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. -- Bruce Cran
