Nice job!
my remarks:
- I think also the "recent changes" section is a bit "oversized"
compared to
the others sections because when you open the page, you only see this at
first sight.
- The number of items in recent changes should be reduced (it is already
possible as you said in a previous mail) so that the recent changes is not
too tall compared to Spaces+Tags and so that you can guess there are other
contents below recent changes without scrolling too much.
- Maybe default height for one recent change could be reduced a bit by
putting the name just beside the photo for example... I like this size of
photo...
- considering balance, I would prefer a smaller column for recent changes...
not 50/50 but 60/40 for example... this is a personal opinion :)
- I agree the avatar presentation brings something interesting.

Yes, power to people! Avatars makes a big difference in the tool

than user own profile encourages people to actually upload their picture).
I agree, that's why I didn't
suggest removing the avatars, just making them
smaller. This wasn't negative feedback on the avatars, but a comment on the
fact that they are way too visible comparing to the rest (at least on my
display).

It's not pretty but I've asked for feedback during the devel process
and since this onhover link vary a lot (link vs. ajax) between items
(page vs. comment) it seemed to be way more comprehensive to write it
and use visual hints (color + [+] and [-]) than to use images.

This is the first negative feedback about avatars, I agree it's not
crucial but it allow to put a face on changes which is a good thing I
think.
