External links can be created while in contents view and shows in a 
"related" box at the bottom left. This box also contains internal links 
to items with the same keywords. There's already a couple of "related" 
boxes in the site; if you explore you'll noticed them.

I just created a link in my folder: http://testpd.iem.at/Members/odradek/
and one on the first page (about folder): http://testpd.iem.at/about/

I modified the box and now externals links pops in a new window.
But I'd like them to point to their correspondant link documents.

Anyone = any registered user?

I agree.

There's not a lot room at the top; the site has to work with most browsers 
at low resolutions like 800x600, even with text browsers like "links". We 
should try to keep the basic Plone links at the top (About Members News 
Search); News and Search never shows in the box, About and Members 
appears in the box to anonymous users only when they click on these tabs. 
Maybe there's a way to hide folders in the navigation box even for 
registered users.

Very clean indeed; it's a PHP "Movable Type" site 
(http://www.movabletype.org), which by default has a clean look. I think 
we better not try to build the perfect designer skin, Plone is already 
complex and clean enough. I would change the colors, not much.
