I'd also like to know where this stands. I wasn't too sure what was happening after the SoC work finished, but it sounds like we got a lot of good analysis but no clear path to a solution that worked for us. Which is good work, but I'd still like to see some simple templating available even if we can't solve world hunger in the process. ;) I think there may be some good patches out there that at least made our CSS/HTML better. A search of our bug tracker (and probably this list) could turn those up as a potential starting point. Right now, taking a look at the listinfo page for this list turns up a lot of BGCOLOR="#99CCFF" and such, and few divs and such to make changing the look easier. I'd like to see something more modern, HTML-wise, so that changing could be done with a stylesheet. If you've got some time to find existing patches, Aaron, or to produce some, I'd be happy to review and help get these integrated into svn, assuming no one has vast objections to this. Ideally, I think it should be possible to skin mailman just using CSS, so I'd say we should start there. And once that's done, maybe someone could sit down and try making a few different skins so people can have some enriched examples? read: examples with some documentation inline so people can modify them easily. I think that could be a good starting point, since no matter what further templating we want to do, getting workable (X)HTML coming out of the interface seems like it would be a useful step. Terri PS - I'd also like to make our interface more usable, but making it easy to use with stylesheets is a good goal even if we don't change any of the content. :) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
