Great work Mark. I think, at least for the overview page, we may to
start group in some way under 'big topics'  as there is rather too
much to take in at once. e.g.:

* Publish and find Datasets: Publish, Search, Metadata (perhaps
renamed to dataset information?)
  * Is history worth its own section or should be in this page
* Visualize and analyze: visualization, previewing, QA, Stats
* Geospatial
* Store and manage data: data store, blog storage, data API
* Customize and Extend - theming, plugin architecture, API, open-source
* Community and Federation (maybe don't go together).
