Forgive me. I tool the opening to suggest a change. It is easily reversible although it takes a couple of hours because the API is big. This is also staged, it is there for RTC. Revert? If so simply revert templates/api/ssi.mdtext and leave the rightnav work in content/css/ooo.css. > > * Both Mwiki and Cwiki have their nav info on the left.

I think that if the content is the main focus then for LTR languages having subsidiary navigation on the right makes more sense. What wikis do may be different. The main API page uses a right nav. > > * Is a nav column really the best use of screen real-estate? The Apache main > site cleverly relegates a lot of navigation to the footer.
