Please use our analytics account based on Google Apps for all

I guess Christian should do it, or it will be overwritten the next time
he updates the website.  In the future we should consider using better
collaborations tools, such an SCM, to let multiple people work on the
static web site.

Dunno.

I think the #1 issue with the wiki is not navigability, but clutter.
We're not helping the user by increasing it with adding 10 more links to
the 100+ we already have in every page.

I especially dislike the blue translation bar containing lots of weird
scripts.  People know to use Google Translate without every web site in
the world hinting them at it.

I will ask SJ what he did on wiki.laptop.org to improve upon it.
