[wp-docs] The main page.

Re layout: http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Esmi/Main_Page

1. The links at the top of the page I find confusing. Mainly because 
everything is under headings, there is no definition of what I am 
looking at, and it could be confused with a table of contents.

2. Under "Give Back" it says 'Volunteers Needed for Codex Documentation 
<http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Contributing>' & 'WordPress 
Documentation Team'.
<http://codex.wordpress.org/Documentation_team>Which is more or less the 
same. I would keep one.

3. The same goes for the heading "Customize or create a theme". There is 
overlap in the links below it.  I'm not sure how I would improve the 
links titles, but maybe merge 'Theme Development' & 'Blog Design & 
layout'. Also having 'FAQ Layout and Design 
<http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Layout_and_Design>' might leave people 
wondering why there is no FAQ on the other topics.

4.  On "Contribute to Development" there is 'contributing to WordPress'. 
When I read contribute to development I read code. There are many ways 
people can contribute. Maybe something like: Contribute to coding, 
contribute finanically, etc. Would help people get a sense of how they 
can help at first glance, this might improve contribution.

5. I'm not sure if I am keen on having the headings in columns next to 
each other. I would maybe have headings all below, and place links in 
columns if needed. The first time I saw the layout, it worked confusing, 
the second time I was used to it.
