Hi Matthew, et al.,

Agreed. > >My proposals are not entirely finished, and neither are Maarten's. >However, the time draws near that the decision must be made.

Yes... again, I've requested a staging server and just sent off a nagging query. I'm anticipating we can use it for global CSS changes. Though we can change incrementally on a production site, none of us really wants to. Changing the CSS on the homepage incrementally is probably a lot safer.... > >I am not exactly certain how the choice is going to take place, >perhaps Louis has some ideas? Perhaps a simple vote in the mailing >list is all that we need, perhaps not, I will leave that up to the >authorities (Kay and Louis). :-) Kay and I will go over that but whatever method chosen will be fair. > >I, personally, am willing to help with any pages that need to redone >(such as support, download, etc), regardless of the proposal chosen, >and will almost always be available to help. Thanks!! > >Well done to everyone who has helped with the creation of these great >proposals, and submitted constructive suggestions. I look forward to >seeing how it will go. > >If anyone has any ideas that need to be incorporated in my proposals, >please let me know ;). :-) > >Kind Regards, Thanks Matthew, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
