I'm going to oppose any approach that departs too radically from the
current approach.  I think that a primary navbar on top combined with a
secondary navbar on the left side is a highly efficient layout, and I'll
need lots of convincing to change my mind.  I'm much more amenable to
changes in content, site architecture (both navigation/structure and
content delivery), and graphic design.

I'm sure Plone can do this, I just wanted to be clear.  Do keep in mind
that you'll need to set up Plone primarily for delivery of static
content (see previous threads on pydotorg-redesign for more info).

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects 
with useful practice.  --Aahz
