Hi Linda,

Louis has set up a staging >server, have a look at the list archives to find the URL. The place for discussions is [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a working list, and the discussions have been technical--heavy on css details, debates on philosophy and practice--actually both fun and informative. > >You might want to have a look at the (rather outdated, unfortunately) >style guide (http://www.openoffice.org/styles/) about how the website >is created etc. Place to go is [EMAIL PROTECTED] But there are other initiatives, too: * Support page is being redone by the Documentation and Marketing people. * And To dos page was considered (is being considered). At the moment, as was pointed out, it is awkward to navigate. <http://development.openoffice.org/todo.html>. The archives have the thread on the discussion. Other key pages that need refreshment: The javascript download page. A long while ago, Daniel suggested a nifty way of easing the confusion naive users have when downloading things: randomize the set of servers per each region. Right now, people choose a particular server close to them but really it doesn't matter. (and even if we tell them it doesn't matter some few still get confused). The page in question is, <http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html>, for instance. Anyway, the idea was to randomize the set per region. I have no idea how to do it; perhaps a javascript hack would work. I don't know. Besides that, the basic Download page could be made even cleaner, i think. I refer to http://download.openoffice.org/index.html. A few have taken a try at it. It's already pretty empty but as it is a rather frequently accessed page, it may stand improvement. You judge. There are other pages, of course, that need attention. But off the top of my head those are they. As to general things... well, I have the style guide as a sort of perpetual todo. I think it would be *great* to be worked on, especially by people more savvy than I. It's here: <http://www.openoffice.org/styles/>. It's very rudimentary, mainly specifies the colors for tables and tries to provide hints. But I'd love to move to entirely <div> tags, CSS, and have clear explanations on how to do things efficiently. If you want to try your hand at it: please! :-) Thanks, Louis > >Jonathan Prior > > >On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 18:09:41 -0500, Linda Worthington ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hello everyone! >> >> My name is Linda and I am a Graphics Designer/Web Developer/Coder.
