Hi Kay,

Amazing the volume of emails that came in while driving from San Francisco to 
Los Angeles.

Regenerate the current headers and footers, but it needs to be done via 
wrapping in the Apache CMS.

In ooo/site/trunk/templates

sidenav.mdtext
single_narrative.html
skeleton.html

Take skeleton.html and make a ooo_skeleton.html

In ooo/site/trunk/lib

path.pm
view.pm

In path.pm:

our @patterns = (
        [qr!\.mdtext$!, single_narrative => { template => 
"single_narrative.html" }],
) ;

Add a pattern to identify the html that kenai wrapped before. This will be 
tricky as there may be html that we want to just push through - I think that 
was "*.html.html" file in Kenai.

This pattern can refer either directly to ooo_skeleton.html or refer to an 
"ooo_narative.html" which refers to ooo_skeleton.html.

In view.pm we will need a python routine to pump content into the markup.

For now concentrate on turning one or two to the current pages into a 
"template" and then we can do the steps outlined above.

When we have our samples together then I think we should describe to Trademarks 
and Legal-Discuss what we have done. They'll tell us if we need to change 
anything. The project might want to do a little "bike shedding" on the design.

I thought we would add a small Apache feather to the header somewhere, but the 
footer might be ok, too.

A lot of projects have the Apache logo in one corner and the project logo in 
the other.

My personal feeling is that the colors on the Apache feather clash with the 
light sky blue of OOo. I have seen some examples where the Feather has 
different colors but these may be legacy.
