Nobody deleted some of my cookbooks, so I guess that's right ;)

I would say this would be an improvement.

Generally like it. I'm not shure if Contributors and Categories are  
so important that they should be at the top of the page.

with a lokal update information system by comparing local recipes  
version with the version available at pmwiki (or elsewhere). Nothing  
for the core, but a nice cookbook.
