Re: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
Good day folks. I'm new to the list and it would be wonderful to be able to submit a design 'a la' Zen Garden. Even if not accepted it would really be an honor to submit a design amongst such prestigious web designers. I also look forward to learning alot from this great pool of experience. Regards, Ahmaud R.

The first challenge will be to get enough agreement on how to create the basic page structure, eg: do we include extra divs to allow for clearing floats to deal with IE bugs? who many divs just to contain the page ? one, one inside another or four to allow for various corner tricks? do we have a few extra divs for images ala Zen Garden just incase people want to use them and how many? So if Russ is willing to completely change the rules, we are willing to put up with some lively discussions on most suitable page strucutre, I for one am looking forward to the opportunity.

RE: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
H... All very interesting. To do this we may have to change the functionality of the CMS a bit and maybe even hard code the pages that rarely change due to the needs of a site that displays code on the page by default (when pasted in). I don't think that many outside the core group have actually used it though so this shouldn't be an issue as any requests for changes to the content could still be sent to us. As Russ said it was built very quickly along these lines. So, we'll now discuss this and get back to you about how we'll proceed. Thanks for all your input again.

RE: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
I like this idea! It adds a creative flair to the purpose of the group and as an artist/programmer instead of a pure programmer it gives others like me a chance to show the world This is how I would've done it.

Re: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
russ weakley spoke the following wise words on 21/03/2004 1:58AM EST: The WSG site was built very quickly when we first put the group together (just over a year ago). It is very much overdue for a redesign. In the spirit of group ownership, we thought it would be a good idea to open the process up to all members. Great! I only wish I had more time to encourage my creative side. So much of my time is spent doing technical stuff.
