OK thanks Ivan this is much better already, peope lost in the wiki
will be able to find the static intro.

But, since the wiki is just as official a part of the site as the
introduction, and any first-time visitor will consider
anything.sugarlabs.org as being "the Sugar Labs site" and not separate
sites, can we change "Home" to "Wiki Home", and "Official Sugar Labs
website" to "Homepage"?

The "You are currently browsing..." is good but should be right at the
top instead - welcoming to the wiki and showing the path to the main
homepage. The explanation text is less necessary now since the static
part of the site covers that.

I have just realized that activities.sugarlabs.org has no navigation
back to the main page, how can we fix that quickly?

I also agree a common navbar at the top will greatly aid navigation
(in fact i feel sure i stated this previously). for example "add-ons"
(static) <> "activities" (wiki) and indeed the static Activities page
doesn't link to activities;sugarlabs.org as it should

In the first mail i had mentioned text spidered by Google we needed to
update... does anyone know where the mystery text is, and how to
update it?

Please advise thanks
