I have training in UI design so this might be long and nit-picky.

problems:

1. putting the Community page under the create menu could be confusing. A newbie would think what is community page and why would I want to create one.

2. same with Wiki Activity

3. Photos and Videos on the 'create' menu sound like they are like multiple upload

4. Chat is like wise confusing. It might describe what is happening if the user is the first to join Chat but it not how they think of it.

works well:

1. putting Search on the local bar. It never confused me where it was but I can see how it could.

2. more intuitive to the designer. Example: On Trans wiki I felt the need to put redundant links under wiki content and as top level nav. In the new design it clearer where each level belongs.

Recommendations:

1. rename 'create' 'contribute'. It better captures what the menu is about.

2. move chat to new menu with discussions/forums. They are related features differing only on time scale and permanence.

3. add a random page link to read menu
