http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/forrest/events/forrest-friday/20060210-summary.txt
Cheche and Thorsten discussed the horrible CSS in version 0.7 and hoped
that Dispatcher will be better.

[18:50] cheche: I am a bit  sad about forrest...
[18:50] cheche: I was doing a web site for a customer
[18:50] tscherler: why?
[18:50] cheche: http://www.cesarnieto.com/
[18:51] cheche: I did it using forrest v.07
[18:51] cheche: and I ask a css programer to help me with the site
[18:51] cheche: I have got an email yesterday from him
[18:52] tscherler: and?
[18:52] cheche: he said that it was the most complex css code that he ever saw
[18:52] cheche: and he quit for the job :-)
[18:53] tscherler: lol
...
[18:53] tscherler: the css was growing
...
[18:55] cheche: well, that was with the old version
[18:55] cheche: is the dispatcher going to help in this way?
...
[19:00] cheche: I am ok with the new changes.
...
[19:02] cheche: xley: can I add www.cesarnieto.com as en example site?
[19:02] xley: better if they do.
[19:02] xley: sure please do
[19:03] cheche: but It has his own skin and a lot of modifications
[19:03] xley: no problem, it is still an example of what can be done.
[19:03] cheche: ok then
[19:04] tscherler: cheche yes and no
[19:04] tscherler: the css codes is not rewritten for the dispatcher
[19:04] tscherler: but it would make sense
[19:05] tscherler: it makes it way easier for a designer to change everything 
but still you need to do it ;-)
[19:05] tscherler: k

>      Project: Forrest
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: Dispatcher (aka views)
>     Versions: 0.8-dev
>  Environment: All, Needs to make sure look and feel are the same in multiple 
> browsers, e.g. IE6, Mozilla, Firefox, Camino, Konqeror.
>     Reporter: Gavin
>  Attachments: screen.css.diff
>
> The current CSS implementation needs a bit of a cleanup, some tweaking and 
> optimization. It needs to be improved and some styles converted to % in order 
> to cater for different browsers and user resolutions. A more fluid design 
> needs to be the outcome. The overall style and look and feel of the current 
> pelt skin is to largely remain the same where possible whilst implementing 
> these improvements. The style sheets are to remain CSS1 valid and aim for 
> CSS2 valid. When XHTML2 is implemented perhaps CSS3 can be achieved.
