First off; Hooray for the two of you! I don't know if I'm insulting one and praising the other by saying it, but from my ant perspective you are both giants! :-)
If I understand you guys right, there is currently no perfect solution. However, considering how easy it is to change things in TW, I think a sufficient existing solution will do. Måns parameter idea to auto genereate menu items is interesting - but I think there are so few menu items where it would be applied that such a general approach might be a bit of an overkill, or am I missing something? (Maybe you have some thoughts for the future, Måns?) I should mention, however, that I'm reminded of the various TreeViewMenu[1] variants that 'menuize' by tag. Also note that as things evolve I think we'll want other 'level two content' which may differ from menu item to menu item. (I mean, considering the intended democratic nature of tworld, the content there should be a consensus and the static "Current/Notes/Proposed" may not hold.) (But I do love the concept of having things added dynamically to the various menu levels simply by tagging.) BTW, searching for why twv[2] doesn't work, maybe the space in the first menu item, i.e "Get involved" messes up things? Regarding Tobias popup [3] - do I get this right: 1) content is added by actual separate menu tiddlers 2) it requires manual CSS fiddling for proper width display Any alternative routs we have missed? Surely the idea of a multi level menu in (a horizontal) MainMenu must have been investigated earlier... altho I'm not sure where to look. Maybe Wolfgangs ambitious menuflex site[4] has something? Thanks! P.S I discovered something funny; the backstage slider in tworld slides up *behind* the mainmenu! Take a look.
