The header which appears on all pages of www.spi-inc.org contains 3 elements:

1. Green breadcrumbs starting with a link to the homepage labelled "SPI"
2. The SPI logo
3. A link to the homepage labelled "Home" in the menu

An image of these elements is attached.

The purpose of the green "SPI" is unclear, particularly in top-level pages. It is unclear that it is a link.

I suggest to:

1. Make the logo a link to the homepage
2. Relabel the first breadcrumb from "SPI" to "Homepage"
3. Remove the "Home" menu item

Yeah, it's clearer when there are multiple levels, e.g. here:
http://spi-inc.org/meetings/minutes/2018/2018-05-14/

I think I'll keep "SPI" or use "Home" (rather than "Homepage) in 2 but
otherwise this sounds good.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this isn't as easy as just changing from HTML or
Markdown. I have to look into how Ikiwiki's templates work.
