 I'm sure there's future work planned to improve those pages (especially
 text!) but in the mean time, breadcrumbs would be helpful at the least.

 navigation can mitigate that to a degree, but it still feels like you're
 trapped once you made your way down into one of those subpages.

 Ideally, the subnav should follow the architecture of the Plugin
 Directory.

 Rather than stating the page name on the left side, we should probably
 state the section like "About" as you suggested @obenland. And that text
 would link back to the main page. The problem I run into is the series of
 links on the right side. We've just got so many in the About section that
 they can't all fit there. But I do like how the page you're on shows in
 solid white with an underline.
