Useful tips, easy to change, thanks. I agree with all the points. I will update the concept pic in the morning. I'm already building the wikimedia skin now. I feel it's a good idea to get something real built that talks to the real database and can be clicked and browsed. Otherwise it will remain just an idea for a long time going through tweaks and watershedding. Regarding other colours, please help me. Here is the SVG of the site: http://chrisdone.com/tmp/haskell.svg If you can suggest one extra contrasting but complementing colour, that would be great. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
