In the list of articles you get when you drill in there, "shades of red" show
the relative rating of the articles, or so I think (1).

Suggest that perhaps this is an overloaded color useage and instead of using

1 - I am not sure, when a new feature first appears, where exactly to go to
get a concise view of what the author thinks the feature actually does or how
to use it... it seems to usually appear in a post here, but while that's good
while the feature is breaking, it's not so great for the reader who comes to
Lugnet 2 months later and wonders how the feature works.

Do you mean like a set of features/faq/help combination page, with links from
all over LUGNET to it, and all indexed nicely, perhaps with a spiffy search
engine on top too? <insert quick prototype example here, if it wasn't so late>
