+1 from my side too.. Looks very neat and more user friendly.

This raises the old issue: fragmented online documentation! So, let me
try to understand a few things here:

1. The :WIKI: tab on rkward.sf.net will eventually become defunct and
be linked to the new mediawiki site?

2. The :USER: and :DEVELOPMENT: tabs remain on rkward.sf.net?

Old issue again:
How should the documentation be segmented? What goes in mediawiki and
what in rkward.sf.net? Should the :USER: and :DEVELOPMENT: pages be
updated as-and-when-deemed-fit by accepting the "important" notes from
mediawiki?
