I personally think the "download" link on top is important and should be 
kept.

The Link to Sugar/Downloads on the sidebar:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads/Landing_page
should be called "Get Sugar": and point to:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads
Directly. I do not understand why it goes to a "landing page" first.
This is more consistent with the other items on the left Sugar sidebar
Get Started; Get Help; Get Involved.

Too Many Clicks

Note:
I have been trying to make the Sidebar Entry for :
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit-
  
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#AN_ON-LINE_VERSION_OF_THE_Sugar_Creation_Kit

A master menu for all things sugar. I think it is a useful index.
