Ah, sorry for misunderstanding...  when we introduced V2, we disucssed 
how we'd be trying to find more ways to get people to edit, participate 
in the wiki, or browse more. The small changes you listed below were 
based on measurements that we take of what people click on (and how many 
people click on them)... so in small ways we're trying to improve those 
numbers. I'm sorry that it seems like it's jumping around.

V3 is in the process of being coded...  a lot of thought went into and 
and a lot of the feedback we've received from everyone. It's not an easy 
task putting together these skins ... there's a lot of functionality 
that has to be integrated as seamlessly as we can. So we're looking for 
commentary and criticism which we then take that back to see if we need 
to re-work anything.

Thanks,
John Q.
