i'm not sure about this distinction. do you think you need to be advanced user to have look on news in lyx 1.6 or report bug in bugzilla? also its not only about this distinction. i'm used, while browsing via opensource project webs, that there are some standard links available on the left bar. between these are 'Download', 'Screenshots', 'Bugzilla', 'CVS/SVN/Mercurial/etc' sections and think it would be good to let these shine and tried to change the sidebar accordingly. i would even propose to change 'Visual Tour' to 'Screenshots' just for these reason even when our screenshot section contains much more (what would you think?) anyway i have already put my changes in wiki and unless Joost (or somebody else) raise his voice aginst, i would think that modes you propose bring unnecessary intricacy. pavel
