If you want to do them all at once, you may want to wait until after the
content has been decided and worked on and we've got a fairly stable new
site.  That's probably more productive than doing image-links first.

So here are the site areas I have come up with so far:

Download
Getting Started
Official TLG Models
Links
Contribute
Credits

I'm not sure I'm on the same page as you about what a 'site area' is.  I'm
assuming you mean links from the main page.

What is LDraw? (might just be text on start page)
Memorial Pages (last major topic-link on start page)
Questions and Answers (ie, FAQ)

I'd think that a Downloads page would be a catch-all list of all things which
are downloadable.  Specific items (like install.exe, update.exe, *.dat, etc.)
should be linked from appropriate locations.

Thought:
If someone makes an install file for Ldraw, can they put in an email
registration feature that lets one of us know who downloaded it and where
to contact them so they can get update notifications and more so we can
keep track of approximately how many use it..etc..?  What do you think..?

It would be possible, if we wanted to set up a mailing list...
