If you want to create a new page for developers, you should create it on the Moodle Developer Resource site.

Navigation 2.0 structure

This document outlines proposed re-organisations of the navigation block (and nav bar) to make it more user-centered and less Moodle-centered. It ties in very nicely with the new My Moodle page.
