''Problem'': The sidebar tabs match the content area background, do not always line up with the sidebar and are visually noisy as separate tabs.
''Suggested Solution'': Merge the three tabs into a single (visually) tab with dividers between the words; make the width be the sidebar width and position directly above it; adjust the image used so that it matches the sidebar "hatch" background better visually.

Sidebar Tabs

Problem: The sidebar tabs match the content area background, do not always line up with the sidebar and are visually noisy as separate tabs. Suggested Solution: Merge the three tabs into a single (visually) tab with dividers between the words; make the width be the sidebar width and position directly above it; adjust the image used so that it matches the sidebar "hatch" background better visually.

Intro Page

Problem: the intro page is redundant with the main sidebar: there are the same categories and they may get out of sync. Moveover it makes people want to "go back" when there is no need to. Suggested Solution: get rid of the intro page completely. Start with just the sidebar, selecting a category makes the main page slide in

Missing Functionality

Method

Provide a user story describing the workflow that is not currently possible. Implementation planning will happen in a second round. (So detailed solutions do not need to be suggested.)
