Yes, power to people! Avatars makes a big difference in the tool
adoption by its users, in my opinion. (And displaying it other places
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).

I think that the average wiki contains more spaces than incubator (way
more in some cases).
You can try to reduce the number of items in recent changes by passing
changesNb=15 in the URL (this variable can be set in the document
too).

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. Jerome.
I'm afraid that a lot of avatars will not
look pretty with a height
smaller than 60px.
Thanks,
