indeed. additional navigation buttons and a menu
will be important updates that come with a wiki-template.

before getting started on the look and feel however, there are some more
issues:

"tune down the wiki aspect" - if you see the page-source of
http://linux-sound.sonologic.nl/lad:all:jamin for example:

~~META:desc=JACK Audio Mastering, "... a tool for producing audio
masters from a mixed-down multitrack source" ~~
~~META:logo=lad:images:jamin.png~~
~~META:screenshot=http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/about/scr02.png~~
~~META:banner=~~

we could

a) introduce more META tags and make minimal use of the actual wiki
pages for the application. -> the whole wiki will become a Meta-Data
page index. browse like this:
http://linux-sound.sonologic.nl/lad:categories:all_things_jack

b) use a minimal set of META tags, and have customized wiki pages for
each application.

c) a + b :)

what's nice about the static html @ linux-sound.org is that it can be
mirrored/cached easily. for a wiki this takes a little more effort.

I'm lucky and going to spend the next days skiing, but will back with
new ideas and enthusiasm after the 23C3.
