[openstreetmap-website] Redesign (#498)

[vincentdephily]

Others have pointed out the problem of the topbar on small screens / windows not fiting horizontaly.

But I find that the extra vertical space wastes valuable space, clashes with iD (or is there a pull request pending for iD too ?), and is simply not as good loking as the original. I'm not sure either what is the criteria for buttonizing some links and not others; I'd be happy with no button in sight.

I like seeing "Help" and "User Diaries" in there, but I'm not so sure about "GPS Traces" and "About" being at such a prominent place. They're just not visited often enough (IMHO, but our sysadmins may have the stats) to warrant this position on the page.

Which brings me to the sidebar... It has been emptied of most of its content and made larger at the same time. It's great to use it for search results, a welcome improvement. But to me it could still be used for the old content, such as "about".

Also, displaying search result hides the "make donation", "where am I" and other items from the sidebar, without a visible way to get back to the original. I suggest that displaying search results be done in a dedicated part of the sidebar, without disturbing the rest of the content.
