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.
