I was looking for a "Software" category to mirror that category from Nabble1. In Nabble1 it is right at the top of the Active List which tells me this is a commonly used category.

presents Top Level Forums <http://n2.nabble.com/freeforums.html> 
with the top-level 'Software' and 'CSS' forums on page 4.

As long as the system doesn't put the structural info right up in your face, most users will miss it as they are just muddling through … I quite enjoyed the possibility to discover new forums just by browsing categories on Nabble1 without having to search for a particular subject.

The tail end of that paragraph sounds similar to browsing Top Level Forums, so maybe it's the front page heading 'What's new?' could be worded in a way that's less ambiguous.

I can't recall when (if ever) I accepted a Nabble front page invitation to see what's new. With so much on the Internet, 'What's New?' is (to me) not an appealing prospect! YMMV…
