More intuitive domain structure
Atm there are docs.-, wiki.-, developer.-, code.-, devtalk.blender.org and what not. Sometimes it takes me minutes to find the right page. I don't know anything about domain structures, but if possible, please consider reordering all the links, starting at the top with blender.org as root domain, and branch from there in a logical manner ( blender.org/wiki , blender.org/devtalk ...). Thanks for considering it.

each website is a very different system. Most systems assume they are in the root folder mapped to the domain name. Putting such systems in subfolders too often comes with huge technical issues. The solution is to give most systems their own domain.
* @thinsoldier * right but you can store your stuff however you want and still use domains and link structures that do not represent anything close to your folder structure.
* @-L0Lock- * But some systems expect a url structure and it takes extra work and testing to have a complex system exist at example.com/banana/excelsior when the developers of the excelsior app dropped the ball in the first place and some things don't work unless it exists at the " example.com " root level of the url.
But wiki, developer, devtalk, plain blender.org are in fact more like different pages under blender domain and not sub pages of one single main page.
eg developers and devtalk is for development and blender.org and wiki is for users
* @Pawel Piotrowski * Even if the current system has reasons behind it, it arguably could make things simpler to just put everything below blender.org . Or at least subdomains, like keeping blender.org/stuff for the user, and developer.blender.org/stuff for the devs.
* @Pawel Piotrowski * There already is blender.org/support and ~/get-involved and other tabs, where there are links to other domains. If it does not trouble too much, i would appreciate instead something like blender.org/support/blender.chat etc.
