===(1) Using the Infrastructure===
The format and content of the project's pages, including the project home page, is under the sole control of the project's Committers (subject, of course, to common sense  about truth, decency, project relevance, security issues, etc.) with two exceptions:
# <span style="margin-right:6px; margin-top:5px; float:left; color:ivory; background:#FF9999; border:1px solid #444; font-size:30px; line-height:25px; padding-top:2px; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; font-family:times; ">R</span>	Each project is required to have a single standard top-of-the-left-nav navigation	link to the standard project page for that project	so that common information, such as where to find downloads and    how to get started with the project, is easily and consistently available for all    projects. 
# <span style="margin-right:6px; margin-top:5px; float:left; color:ivory; background:#FF9999; border:1px solid #444; font-size:30px; line-height:25px; padding-top:2px; 
padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; font-family:times; ">R</span>	Projects in the [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/incubation-phase.php Incubation Phase] are required	to conform to certain labeling, including having 	an [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/incubation-conforming.php incubation graphic on the home page].

===PHP Code for Standard Left Menu===
The PHP to create the single common nav items on the    home page is to include this code before the <code> $App-&gt;generate_page(...)</code> and    before any project-specific $Nav items are added: (note that <em>internalprojectid</em>    is the project's Foundation internal database key, e.g. <tt>technology.foobar</tt>,
and <em>shortname</em> is the short name of project when accessing from eclipse.org, i.e. <tt>foobar</tt> from www.eclipse.org/foobar)
<pre style="border: thin 1px dashed; background-color: ivory; 
padding-top: 2px; 
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px">$Nav-&gt;setLinkList( array() );
$Nav-&gt;addNavSeparator( "Project Name", "/shortname" );
$Nav-&gt;addCustomNav( "About This Project",
    "/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=internalprojectid", "", 1  );</pre>
    
===The Standard Left Menu Item Looks Like This...===

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td rowspan="2" align="center">
[[Image:Common-left-nav.gif]]
</td><td>The "About This Project" is the one standard item. It can be first (preferred) or second (after a "project home page" link). Everything else in the left menu is controlled by the Dash project itself.

The "About This Project" item links to the standard project page for Dash. The standard project pages have the same layout and information for each project making it easy for new users to find information about downloads, newsgroups, committers, project plans, etc.
</td></tr><tr><td>[[Image:Standard-project-page-small.gif]]
