Here's an idea for the main navigation menu structure:
* Menu ** Software ** Documentation ** Tips & Tricks ** Tests & Benchmarks ** Projects
* More Information ** Mailinglists ** IRC ** Links
* Wiki ** mainpage|mainpage ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** randompage-url|randompage ** helppage|help ** http://www.kernel.org/faq/#donations|sitesupport
That should cover all the pages currently linked from the main page.
