I've just tried to use the new layout of the documentation 
webpages for the first time. They are a lot less easy to 
find your way around than the old pages, principally because 
the menu bar on the left has so little information. 
The old menu bar had the chapters listed in numerical order. 
The new one has headings that do not correspond to chapters -
e.g. "about" which is the frontpage, "Installation" which 
is most of chapter 3 (but chapter 3's title, 
"Getting started and using the MITgcm" is much more illustrative), 
"tutorials" which seems to be just chapter 3.8 and "documentation" 
which consists of the rest. Why not have the menu correspond to 
the chapter headings as before?

When you click on "access online-documentation" on the frontpage 
you end up straight in chapter 1, 
whereas in the old format you landed on a contents 
page, with helpful descriptions of each chapter. This is very 
helpful for someone who doesn't remember where to start...
