I wouldn't mind having two different paths to the content, one according to
type, and one on the intended audience. It would require two separate menus,
and to make it clear that they are unrelated one should in that case be
organized vertically and one horizontally. Something like this:

-----------------
BIG
ZOPE       Newbies     Webmasters    Developers     Members    Search
LOGO

News
Documentation
   How-To's
   Technical features
   The Zope Book
   Books in print
Download
   Newest Zope
   Latest beta
   Featured products
   Products
Community
   Members
   Mailing list
   Archives
------------------

Under "Newbies" you would find things like:
Introduction/What is Zope
Getting started

Under Webmasters:
DTML-Manual (ie direct link to the relevant parts of the Zope book, I guess)
ZPT-manuals (------"-------)
Most popular products
Frequently asked questions
Join the zope-list

Under Developers:
Getting started with ZClasses
Setting up a good python development environment
ZClasses manual
Developers manual
Join the zope-list

Under Members:

Login

Under Search:
Possibility to search only how-tos, only products and so on...


I do see a difference between "webmasters" and "developers", ie between the
people that create sites and the people that create products. Maybe this
difference doesn't really exist, but I do think that there is a huge
difference between these two things, and it would be quite possible to split
this.
