Topic list change (taxonomy)

This may be a small thing, but today I've been picking the "SWNI" topic for these new forum topics, since I am required to pick something. I am not using the "CMS" topic for two reasons: I feel "CMS" is too cryptic and limiting, and I don't feel these issues fall under the "SWNI Server" subhead, as I've alluded to elsewhere.

Subscriptions vs. Notifications

Warning: very geeky topic!

This issue is relevant to clarity in the My Account tabs and settings that each member can access for their account, and also affects other interface elements.

Menu structure

I find the whole organization of the site very confusing. For example, when I go to the home page, how would I find this forum topic? How would I get to the SWNI Server Management Team "home page"? How do the items on the "Quick Links" menu relate to the general organization of the site?

New School-Related News
