Yes, the Wiki is probably a good place to develop some proposals. But it's also important to bring the results back to the mailing list from time to time. And perhaps also bring up problems that show up while working on the Wiki. It would be great to have at least the Wiki -> XML conversion available so that the proposed menu layout can be played with. IIRC, Bolsh said he wanted to give it a try but he he also said that he won't get around to it during the next weeks. Perhaps someone else wants to give this a try earlier? It would really be nice to have. We will be doing a 2.1.0 release in a couple of days to make it easier for people to play with the new stuff. Sven
