Hi David and welcome (again) to Habari :) I'll try to address mostly the Charcoal related questions here. Hopefully there are others who can answer other questions.

Maybe it's too cosmetic to be added to core. But that's just my personal opinion based on my understanding of the Habari philosophy and hence, subject to discussion like anything else. > 2. *Child theming*.

To address that, and because it's impractical to have every style configurable, I was thinking of adding, as part of the theme options that are going to be added to Charcoal in the upcoming release, a text area box where you can add your own custom CSS. This would be applied after the theme CSS and will allow you to override and change any styling, while keeping the hard code intact for smoother upgrades. Do you think that that implementation would serve your need? > 3.

If you think you can lend a hand with the translation of Habari, it would be greately appreciated. > > 6. Specific to Chacoal Theme? Variable size for tags in tag cloud, > depending on the frequency.

The tag cloud that ships with Charcoal theme is intentionally simplified. There is already a plugin for a full fledged tag cloud (RN Tag Cloud). When you activate and configure that plugin, it would automatically override Charcoal's tag cloud. > 7. Specific to Chacoal Theme?

It will still be an option when these configurations are moved to a theme config form for 0.7. -- Ali http://awhitebox.com -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev
