This is arguable, and the argument is below ;-)

I've seen that and shown it to Slann. We prefer having one slide bar for each 
language, with everything merged in, because it reduces the number of clicks 
required to go from any pages to any other one (at worst two if subpages are 
not in the side bar) and help keeping the site as a whole. We consider very 
disturbing to have the sidebar changing when we click on a link within the 
Wiki, other than changing language.

So we have a problem, because we have a clear disagreament there and if we 
want to avoid edit wars we have to settle the question here, on the ml. Thus 
I would like that other people (other than moa and me) give their opinion. 
Don't hesitate to ask question if you have.

Another remark of smaller importance: Perhaps you'll have noticed that we have 
removed some extra formatting such as bold, italic and underline. Too much 
formatting just distracts the eye from the content and a well written text 
should be sufficiently expressive in itself not to required any special 
formatting most of the time.

Thanks for you work; I hope we'll find a good solution that, eventually, suits 
everyone.
