I definitely agree with the breadcrumbs on the left. I don't mind  
where the publish date goes as long as it's consistent (maybe bottom  
is more suitable/traditional).

For the links, I find them to be too noisy with all the subprojects.  
On the main site these were put into the left nav. I think these  
links are intended to be used for contextual links - how often are  
you on a plugin site and decide to go to Continuum? So maybe the main  
site contains those links (though I'd be happy to aggregate  
frameworks under one link to a subpage), but the plugin sites just  
link to the things relevant to that plugin (eg, the release site  
links to the scm site, as does continuum, etc). The breadcrumbs  
really look after the main navigation from there.

WDYT?
