Hi,

We do not plan to force users to have menu bar on the right. We'll just offer 
users the possibility to have the menu bar where they want. For lynx users, the 
right could be a nice position.

About xslt, it's not for today... 

Thanks for the comments.

After viewing " [ Task #62] menubar on the left " I
felt compelled ot make a suggestion. Since you seem to
not have any forums, I posted it here. my apologies if
this is inappropriate.

The problem with the suggestion solution of placing the
menubar on the right is it is not astheticlly pleasing
to the eye for western cultures (the vast majority of
users) to access menus on the right hand side, as we
all read left -> right. This is the reason why most all
web designs use the side menu on the left.

I also read the bit on moving the site to XSLT. If this
is the case, above issue is totally irrelavant, since
the user can (hopefully?) apply their own XSLT styles
ot the raw XML data. If this is nto the case however,
and you plan to do your transforms on the server,
please leave a stylesheet allowing the menubar to
remain on the left if desired.

Thanks, Jason
