I had a different vision. My thoughts were:

Option Three:
  - Home
  - Blog
  - High level docs
  - Downloads

High level docs will be more introductory. As opposed to our wiki docs 
which i see as a full reference guide. The introductory docs I would 
liek to be very too the point, basically how to get stuff done, a bunch 
of examples and howtos really.

I am not sure how useful a "Case Studies" section will be for a library. 
I could be wrong. But I would maybe just add a "Projects using geotools" 
page and call it a day.
