Well, right now the page is simple because I haven't added content to
most sections, so they don't show up in the left sidebar :-)

The structure I'd like to give is the one in the initial message. I
will try, however, to not make the second level headings show in the
top page. What do you think?

Right now, I am investigating how to insert all the pages we have
today in the SPIP database with a script: once I have succeeded in
that, we'll have a complete bunch of mostly badly formatted article:
at that point we can divide the jobs (coeditors wanted!) to fix them
up working in parallel.

Another thing I want to do, thinking ahead to when the pages
unavoidably will contain more than today, is how to not show some
extra information: for example, I don't see much added value in
knowing who wrote an article, or in having all the other articles from
the same author showing in a box: this is not a columnists forum,
people don't come to us to read all and only the writings from Marco
or anybody else.

What do you think?
