Investigate top nav "Menu" dropdown
Problem
Right now it can be confusing as to what the "Menu" text in the top bar means in relation to what is inside and in contrast to the other menus (top and left). This menu has become a catch-all for different types of content.
The items within the Menu dropdown contain personal objects (snippets) as well as global entities (milestones, environments, operations, security), and a mixture of both (activity, projects, groups).
Because of the mixture of content, its difficult to know who these dashboards are for and how they should be used. Additionally, they are duplicated in individual groups/projects.
Next steps
As groupfoundations just took over the Category:Navigation & Settings, we should research the reasons behind why the Menu dropdown uses this label, as well as determine if there is a better IA for this content that groups related content in a reliable and consistent way.
