Janne,

Indeed. that's exactly where they will come. One little box with G'day
+ Login + Prefs etc.

Janne,  why not bring the "Diff" tab inside the "Info" tab.
You made this suggestion some mails back, if i'm not mistaken.
Unless of course, there is a good reason to have a separate Diff.jsp  url ?

This would imply merging Info.jsp and Diff.jsp.
Based on the parameters on the URL, we can decide which info to
display inside the Info tab.

Yeah yeah. some hacking would still be required to make it non-js
browser compliant, as the current more dropdown is. (standard
rendering is DROPDOWN SELECT list)
I was just 'loud thinking' about an elegant way to make that more menu
 Admin configurable ;-)

The whole strategy on 'Add Comments' in JSPWiki is today rather weak, IMHO.
It is actually just a page append function.

Moreover, it's pretty confusing when you look how jspwiki weblog
entries are handling comments.
Weblog comments are really added to a separate comment page. You also
get automatically info on how many comments have been written againts
a certain weblog entry, etc. ( comment(4) )

Why not adopt such a more robust strategy to commenting in general.
The comment tab would then be similar to the Attach tab. It would show
how many comments have been written already, show you all comments
inside that comment tab and allow you to add comments.

With the current comment functionality of JSPWiki, this is not
possible as you can not reconstruct which part of the page are
actually comments, etc.
