reduce number of menu items

This is from @andrewgelman, who wants to reduce the number of menu items on the top page in order to focus user search. The plan will require more clicks to get to some things but there will be fewer choices at each stage.

• What should we do about the workshop pages and other "hidden" content?

• Any URLs that go away should forward somewhere reasonable or be replaced with a page to manually follow.

Here's the new plan from @andrewgelman:

Home Page

As is.

Top-level Menu Items

These will be the menu choices on the home page and the targets of the menu items:

• Interfaces
• Documentation
• Issues
• Community

The first three will remain the same.

Community will get a landing page with links to all the previous pages:

• Users list and dev list (was what we called "Community" before)
• Bug Reports & Feature Requests
• Events
• How to Cite & Citations
• Team
• Developer Resources
• Contributions & Supporters

If we can figure it out, it might make sense to have a submenu of some kind. Otherwise, each of the pages will only have the top-level menu items and it'll be a challenge as to how to lay out that community page index, as it'll require a bit of explanation for each item and some scrolling.

What we have now

Thsi is just an outline of the current site (as of this issue submission):

CAPS are menu pages. Bold items have their own web page.

We also have a hidden page that doesn't have a menu item or any links to it from the site:

Workshops

• birds
• icl_epi
• ...

Start by reviewing the site's current navigation and the page groups listed in the issue, including Community and the hidden Workshops pages. Decide how the proposed top-level menu maps to existing pages, and audit URLs that would be removed. Done means the reduced navigation is implemented, hidden content is addressed, and affected URLs have a reasonable destination.
