Just wanted to note that this is behind a waffle flag for now. It will not be visible to normal users yet.

Pushed this to staging and turned on the waffle flag for superusers: https://developer-local.allizom.org/en-US/

Pushed to prod, but didn't turn on for anyone. I assume we're waiting on more parts of the redesign before turning it on?

I want to ensure (1) the links are all still valid and (2) that the writing team is happy with the way it looks.

A round of feedback (like we are doing in bug 868624) could be helpful here. We especially want Holly and the user experience team to have the opportunity to share feedback.

Hi Les, please enable the waffle flag on stage, so I can update the locators for our selenium tests. Thanks

Should be on for everyone on staging, now.

For visual design feedback, we discussed a few minor changes in #mdndev. 
- Smaller font size for the top line of each nav label
- Added spacing between each nav item
- Align MDN logo with site title

Once this is implemented we should use this opportunity to get feedback from our community as well as track in google analytics. I would recommend setting up goals and funnels, so that we can track the visitor flow through MDN. Once you set up funnels, GA will return visualizations that show this.
