 I've found some behavioral inconsistencies in torproject.org, which I
 think can confuse our visitors. It would be great if we could fix some of
 these things.

 1. If you go to the "About Tor" page or the "Contact" pages, both are
 highlighted in the horizontal menu. (to view:
 https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en)

 2. About Tor > Projects leads to "Software and Services"
 (https://www.torproject.org/projects/projects.html.en). I think that this
 should be consistently named.

 3. About Tor > Projects does does not redirect to a different page and has
 submenu items visible from the About Tor page. About Tor > Documentation
 and About Tor > Projects both do. My suggestion is to making Tor People
 redirect to a separate page with a separate vertical side menu, but also
 having the About Tor> Projects and About Tor > Documentation menus nested
 in the vertical menu on About Tor is also acceptable, as long as these
 side menus behave consistently.

 4. Some pages are blank: https://www.torproject.org/docs/manual.html.en,
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/installguide.html.en. This is bad because
 it makes them look broken. I don't have a better idea of what to put here
 without restructuring the whole website contents, but I think at the very
 least it should not be blank.

 5. You can browse to some pages that have different styling (go
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en, click "Install Tor
 Browser" to get to
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en), which really
 throws me off. It looks like it's a different site, or I've been
 redirected/scammed. I think there are other instances of this, but I can't
 recall every instance of where this happened.

 6. This may not be too big of an issue, but the main menu (Tor Home About
 Tor Documentation Press Blog Contact) keeps the current tab highlighted if
 the user is in that tab (Press is highlighted on
 https://www.torproject.org/press/press.html.en), but this doesn't happen
 for the submenu (Download Volunteer Donate)--the volunteer page
 https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en does not have
 volunteer highlighted.
