Invert forge menu and project speficic tabs position
Detailed Description:
Hi there, I find the forge really usefull for keeping sanity and good tracking
of all modules and core elements. It's great having the ability to centralize
all development on one place and keep a really safe source for addons  that is
supervised.

I think that for better usability it should be easier (more intuitive) to swap
positions between the forge menu and the project specific tabs. Mentally would
give an idea that the tabs are a submenu.

I'll also vote for the forge to only have a link for cmsms homepage and not the
whole navigation menu because it might become confusing if the forge itself is
part of the cmsms website. Since both have different style seem like are
different sites and accidentally may enter on any of the top navigation menu
thinking is a section of the forge.

In plain graphic demonstration would be something like this.

|CMSMS Home| <----(or even the whole CMSMS website top menu, but making clear
what buttong will lead to where.

I think is an small change that will improve the forge usability a lot and will
help new users to find their way faster.

Thanks and keep the good work going.

I even made some quick and dirty firebug tweak ;) to show the idea
