hi guys, I'd start with basic things.
the front page must explain that login is required to edit. otherwise there is no "edit" link. and make sure front page is really informative - it is most visited. I think this restriction of login to edit can be replaced with recaptcha - it does stop all spam except some once a year prank. in edit view make main text window bigger and simplify edit form to two items: main text and comment. leave as much space as possible to displaying page content. the on top is way to big. and remove "what else do you need?" slogan :) I'd make these changes if someone answered my question - how to install the system on apache root server. Thanks! Evgeny.
