[ZDP] ZBook

[Tom Deprez]

Hi Maik,

The new design is nice, however, I think it gives some problems (ie. in fact
the right column is too long, the user as the scroll too much down). Perhaps
this is an improvement (just an idea!). In the right column we make a tree.
With News, Links and Comments as branches. Clicking on a brench will bring
it's topic to front...

What do you think?

Tom.
