[Marketing] Do not open a new window for menu link on sugarlabs.org

[Eben Eliason]

I like the idea of a sitemap. We should pick the most essential five
or six areas (keeping newcomers in mind), and could then have a "more"
link adjacent to them leading to the sitemap, allowing people to find
anything they need with two clicks, and without cluttering up the top
of every page with lots of overwhelming links.
