Hi all,

* Kay is working, I think, on the style guide. It's pretty important, as I would like to create templates for project leads to use. These would specify color, CSS, useful javascripts, etc. The basic philosophy is pragmatic but focused on making sure we comply with standards and use CSS.
For who is this style guide targeted? Project page maintainers or as a resource for the whole community in general? And can we do the style guide if the design isn't completely finished yet? How do we make sure the style guide is being used?
Targeted to project page members, mainly, though others in community, too. But mainly for former. Can we do style now? Pretty much, yes, as we are set to use the same table colors and layout and so on. And the design will never be completely finished ;-) . How do we make sure it is used? We don't, and it won't be. What I do now is point new project leads to the style guide every time I create a project, and I am the one who mainly creates projects.
There is an old version of the style guide that Louis put together a year or so ago. I'll use that as a basis and hopefully get a draft up for review by the end of the weekend. But yes, it is targeted to project page members/maintainers.
It seems that we need a qualified web designer also with knowledge on JavaScript to work on the guide. Everything has to be taken into account.
Of course. Kay is pretty qualified in this area but is still not an
expert. Surely there are on this list expert javascript people?
If not, we can leave that area as under development.
Kay is knowledgeable, yes and no. I'm missing the point about JS I guess. JS is not a "style" issue in my estimation. I think it might difficult to come up with standards for thsi actually. JS is programming basically, and depending on the knowledge level of the implementor, this would be difficult (for me anyway) to come up with standards on this. I'm not intending to address this.
