Ok, you didn't send your email to the list, so I'm forwarding this
response there!

Right, that's not the code we use in Feisty. To get the source code with
the Ubuntu patches, do "apt-get source yelp" from your feisty
installation.

You are confusing me with Matthew Paul Thomas, who also replied to your
post - we are both called Matthew! For what it's worth, I agree with his
recommendation that in order to help us best, you should work on some
small improvements to the existing look, rather than a major overhaul
such as the one you are doing now. Feisty is too close to release for
doing something like that.

Having said that, it's really great to have someone on board who is
interested in working on Yelp - your work is very appreciated and
hopefully you can work with us for the next few months on the help
system layout.

I'm not sure why the TOC and Search should necessarily be the same. The
search doesn't need the left hand bar, so we can save space by leaving
it out for that page.
