First of all: thanks for the detailed feedback! More precise points:

- About the colors: you're not the only one to have mentioned this. I'll experiment with lighter background etc. and see what comes out.

- The Markdown is straight from http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/, but I agree that in most wiki markup syntaxes I'm used to URLs being linked automatically.

- google-code-prettify looks interesting. Not sure how to integrate it with Markdown, though.

- We'll move the controls up in the sidebar. Indeed the references etc. pushed them too far to the bottom.
