Can't argue against consistency. And those menus should point to the
same thing. As long as there is one clearly defined method of
accessing something (docs/developer), I think shortcuts are ok
(dev/docs).

The developers section was never really flushed out, actually much of
the site was never really flushed out. Personally I find Plone too
heavyweight for what we need to do. I think a Wiki would work much
better for most of the site.
The idea behind the developers section is for things pertaining to
development, like the bug, patches, and feature request trackers; or
organizational info if we ever manage to agree on how to organize ;).
All documentation should be in the documentation section.
