This I'm not sure about. I chose the right side for a couple reasons:

* It's easier for thumbing on mobile (and I do use the site on mobile a lot)
* I think the requests themselves are the primary thing people want to
see so it makes more sense for them to have the "top priority"
lefthand space...

I do agree generally that "menu on right" is unconventional, so I
guess it comes down to whether or not people feel convention trumps
those other factors.

If enough people complain about this I can switch it.

OR, we could create a launchpad team for people who prefer lefthanded
menus and then the display could alternate based on membership in that
team :-D
