From: William Trenker [EMAIL PROTECTED] One design consideration is how much to rely on CSS. Looking under the hood (ie, viewing the source) for some of these slick designs reveals modest to sophisticated dependence on CSS. But I think the days of worrying how it's going to look on Netscape

I have been working with Plone now for a couple of days. I think your suggestion is an excellent one. It has very crisp/clean lines ... excellent implementation... I propose to base the Zope3 ZMI on the Plone CMF skin (designed primarily by the talented Alexander Limi and Vidar Andersen with

I agree 100% with Toby. I don't care how it looks in NS4 or (insert old non-standard browser here), so long as the functionality is still there. I think the ZMI should also work 100% with w3m. If we do that, then we are basically already taking care or accessibility. I also vote to kill

Hi, Alexander Limi here, I am responsible for Plone's design and XHTML/CSS. I just want to clarify some issues: * The goal of Plone is to be lightweight, to offload as much layout as possible to the CSS. Should be possible to use in low-bandwith situations (mobile 9600bps GSM connections etc).
