Well, frontpage !=3D top bar.

I= agree it doesn't really rate a place in the top bar.

Putting it on = the frontpage seems like a good idea, though. I see two
options:
1) Add it to the list of links under "Shortcuts".= Then we just need a
name. I agree that "Users" is a bit ambig= ous. Considering what that
means on most websites ("if you're a use= r of our system, click here"), I
think something else is better. No, I don't have a direct example ofsomething better :-P

2) Put it in the featured user box. Replacing = the "share your story"
link. (That link would be moved down in= to the case studies list)
