Hi lenya devs

I'm sorry that it took me ages to follow up on the discussion about «Lenya redesign considerations». I was busy on other projects at work.


To proceed with a redesign I suggest the following steps:
---------------------------------------------------------

- Start with a redesign of the documentation publication (maybe do a separate redesig of the default publication later depending on the question whether to merge the two pubs).

> For the redesign I setup a folder docupub-redesign in sandbox/ design; it currently contains a index.html file with a style switcher (cookie based); please give it a try by opening index.html and let me know if you find it practical as a starting point for webdevelopers

- I suggest to add the photoshop / fireworks templates to the same folder

- When the redesign package is finished provide a zip-File for download

- Put a description about the idea on the lenya website

- Announce the redesign contest on the lenya website and in design / webdeveloper blogs forums etc.


Andreas mentioned that the xhtml structure will have to be well thought through in order to give the designers sufficient freedom in positioning etc.. My feeling is, that the currently used xhtml is at quite a good niveau in that respect. Some design ideas however might require some restructuring - I'm not shure yet how to handle these - maybe we can ask the designers to use the photoshop / fireworks approach and write about the problems they had with the xhtml provided.


I took the code (unchanged) for the styleswitcher from

I'm aware that this is probably against the licence policy; any suggestions here?


Thanks a lot for feedback
