Agreed. I will propose help from our new Ph.D. student Alex Godunov in writing of AJAX version of the menu frame.
Currently we build the menu from a Java object vobean who lives in a user session. This vobean has lots of different info including
color and font size. So, instead of XSLT we would suggest AJAX communication between the JavaScript in the web page and the Java object in
the user session.

I think that this needs some discussion. Ideally we would have the ability to do a query like this on each section

statistics.do?section=/News&lastlogin=2010-01-01T00:01:01

which would return the total number of documents, the number of documents added between lastlogin and the current time.

At present, this is done by parsing the vo_log.xml file, but I think a more robust approach is to do an actual query.
