Validate proposed new IA for Drupal.org with users

To validate proposed top level Sections for the new content structure on Drupal.org we are going to run a couple of exercises with our users.

We want to test our ideas for the future state site map for Drupal.org.

In particular we want to test 4 potential future Sections: Community, Governance, Build with Drupal and Contribute.

Community Section will include things like user and org profile listings, local and interest groups.
Governance Section will include sub-sections for all Working Groups we have.
(Want to be sure this separation makes sense and users will be able to find information related to community governance outside of the Community Section. It is possible that 'Governance' need to be inside of the 'Community').
Build with Drupal will include all projects and the main Download page.
Contribute Section will be a replacement for the Getting Involved Guide, plus the new Initiatives content type will live here. Initiatives will be heavily related to projects and issues.
(Want to be sure this separation / location makes sense. Also want to validate that 'Build with Drupal' is appropriate title for this Section).
