Re: [lojban] Site move, new menu, feedback sought.

So http://lojban.org is not running Tiki yet? We're commenting just on
the design of wiki.lojban.org?

I still think it's much too cluttered to be used as a main page. That
"toolbar" thing at the top (with the 3d button and print and export to
pdf and such) is superfluous to the vast majority of visitors. The
left side containing all the toolbars should be in a font at least one
size smaller (like, small or x-small instead of medium). In the
default color scheme, the blue headers of the bars draw way too much
attention to them, when the attention should be first drawn to the
content in the center. The toolbar headers need to be much lower
contrast, or there should be a different background or border around
the main body to make it draw the eye.
