This sentence gives me an idea about how to possibly incorporate search. 
I'll have to play around with it a bit, but I might have something to 
show pretty soon.

I adjusted the spacing so that the line rhythm was maintained on the 
page. It's especially needed on pages like:

http://mediawiki-garrett.rhcloud.com/OVirt_3.1_release_notes
(Which is a copy/paste of the wiki text from the official oVirt wiki.)

I will probably tweak the fonts and text a bit further, especially when 
we have another reskinned instance of MediaWiki (containing all of the 
content from wiki.ovirt.org) up and running.

That's a great point.

Is it enough to mention "ASL2.0" in the footer and link to a licensing 
page, like the current oVirt.org website does? Or should we say more?


Thanks for the feedback!
