I have the new Sputnik running at http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/.
(This version is running code straight out of git.)  Please go click
around and help me find remaining issues.  I also changed the
appearance somewhat.  Let me know what you think:

1. Sputnik now runs at 100% width by default, though there is a limit
on the width of the content.  (Note that this is a two character
change, just changing div's id from doc2 to doc3.)
2. History (per page and global) is now split by date, which I think
makes it more intuitive.
3. I am now using icons for "edit", "history" and "diff"
4. I am also using icons for different kinds of users and added
OPTIONAL gravatar support.

Gravatar support means that if the user is registered with an email
address and has a account with Gravatar (http://en.gravatar.com/) with
that address, and Sputnik's USE_GRAVATAR config variable is set to
true, then we'll display their gravatar icon instead of the generic
user image.  See http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Sputnik.history for
an example.

All the local icons (i.e., not the gravatar ones) are stored as binary
nodes and you can replace them by simply uploading new ones.  To do
that, just strip off the extention from the URL:

Admin icon as an image: http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/icons/admin.png
Admin icon as a node: http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/icons/admin
(you can click on "Edit" to upload a new image).

Come to think of it, random users shouldn't be able to replace the
icons, so I will change the permissions on this before the next
release to make those icons replaceable by admins only.

Perhaps you could consider picons as well:

And what about OpenID? :o)

Andr?

Interesting.  A few questions about this: First, does anyone actually
use those?  Second, do they handle requests for different icon sizes
(e.g., 16x16)?  Third, is there any fallback mechanism?  Note that one
thing that is nice about gravatar is that there is no work on my end.
E.g., the URL for my gravatar is:

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/f666af4bf2ea3f63c748bdeffb93397c?s=16&d=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/icons/user.png

Which is to say:

"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/"..md5.sumhexa(email).."?s=16&d="..backup_image_url

(Thanks for finding the HTML bug, btw.)

I am all for supporting OpenID, but that's a lot more work, even to
just add client support. (Again, note that Gravatar support is means
just adding one line of code to construct the URL.)  And I think this
should be implemented as a generic module, as I tried to do with
recaptcha.
