Like I've said before; There are only 2 ways to launch php.net redesign; - Unfinished; will force people to join the effort to work fast as it is already live - Incrementally; (in random order) replace the top bar, then change doc warning/note/tips blocks, then the doc sidebar, then user notes, then then then then.. This ofcourse means that every few days color schemas will crash, but so what? We'll have a healthy activity of commits streaming in and people making all sorts of outrageous suggestions and others will be committing horrible css, while others blindly ignore feedback and just continue doing stuff.. and in a month or so things have chilled out and we wind up with something cool :D We should easily be able to incrementally merge the things that are considered to be 80%+ finished right now, and continue work on things. As long as we keep things fun everyone wants to share their pennies and contribute. If we have to strict rules or demands, nothing will happen. -Hannes -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
