Nice job! my remarks: - I think also the "recent changes" section is a bit "oversized" compared to the others sections because when you open the page, you only see this at first sight. - The number of items in recent changes should be reduced (it is already possible as you said in a previous mail) so that the recent changes is not too tall compared to Spaces+Tags and so that you can guess there are other contents below recent changes without scrolling too much. - Maybe default height for one recent change could be reduced a bit by putting the name just beside the photo for example... I like this size of photo... - considering balance, I would prefer a smaller column for recent changes... not 50/50 but 60/40 for example... this is a personal opinion :) - I agree the avatar presentation brings something interesting.
