I think that the average wiki contains more spaces than incubator (way more in some cases). You can try to reduce the number of items in recent changes by passing changesNb=15 in the URL (this variable can be set in the document too). > 2/ There are some scalability problems: on the 'Recent changes' column, if > the document name is long, 'see modifications' that appears on hover shows > up on the next row and pushes the rest of the content down, and this is not > pretty.

It's not pretty but I've asked for feedback during the devel process and since this onhover link vary a lot (link vs. ajax) between items (page vs. comment) it seemed to be way more comprehensive to write it and use visual hints (color + [+] and [-]) than to use images. > 3/ I don't think the user's avatar is a crucial information to display in > Recent changes.

This is the first negative feedback about avatars, I agree it's not crucial but it allow to put a face on changes which is a good thing I think. I'm afraid that a lot of avatars will not look pretty with a height smaller than 60px.
