Re: New newsweb

Looks great Kalle! I'm not sure that the main body section is making the best use of the available space. Perhaps the mega-drop-down and sidebar should be sorted by the number of messages to put the most popular lists at the top. It would also be nice if the php.doc.* lists were collapsed under php.doc (same for php.pear, etc.) In the main body, I wonder if you could pull out the most recent threads/messages in the more popular groups? Could some of this work be reused for a new mailing lists interface?
