I agree. I'd like to suggest a rearrangement of the ABOUT section, since I was 
about to start work editing this.

I would change "Features" to "About". Most websites have an about section and, 
like "Contact Us" and "Home", it's probably one of those entries a user scans for.

3.a- ABOUT
   -Short description of Gimp
   -Screenshots (now makes sense to be here)
   -Hilighted Features.
   -Feature videos.
   - More features (a comprehensive list of the complete features.
                    Should be linked from highlighted features page.
                    I don't think it's necessary to include it in the menu itself.)
   - History/Splash Archive (taken from DOCUMENTATION).

It may be nice to allow users to expand sub-menus using javascript animations. 
Links should still be provided to those sub-sections from within the top-level 
pages to help those who are confused by js and the menu should default to 
expanded when no js is detected.
