Please let me know of any bugs and what your browsers/os setup is.

Zope Foundation
Design 1, Version 1


While I really like the colours in general, I find the gray of the Zope 
Foundation in the logo image not right. Either should be darker 
(perhaps black?) or brighter. Either way, it needs to stand out more 
over the blue-grayish background.


I don't see a big problem with fixed layouts. I have a hard time letting 
the it's a waste of space argument count. Just make your browser 
window smaller and you got that space on your screen back!

 don't bother with this, just read the source
 
 There's actually some merit to this, anyone mind if I implement?

All kidding aside, I recently volunteered [1] to put some thought and
work into a new documentation section. I've got a few ideas floating in
my head and will be posting them on zope-web soon.

Zope docs aren't a lost cause. There's lots of stuff out there, we just
need to bring it back to zope.org (which requires a zope.org that you
can actually work with, of course).

 Here we go again.
 
 Step 1. Propose a project to the Zope community.
 Step 2. Plone sucks / Plone is great battle begins, everyone complains
 about what they dont like.
 Step 3. No actual work ever gets done.
 Step 4. Repeat in 6 months.

Hey Tom,

thanks for your great designs. I think all of them are an improvement
over the current one. One can tell you put a lot of work in them. Don't
be irritated by ChrisW's occasional rants. It's not a personal thing. :)

You asked for our thoughts in your original email and it seems that most
people prefer Design 1 v3. Let me add my +1 to that as well. I for one
think this one scales a lot better for different browser sizes than
Design 2. I also think it's being brighter than Design 2 gives it a
friendler tone. In fact, I think Design 1 v3 could use an even brighter
blue (not too much, though)...

Having to agree on a design is such a difficult task because it involves
different people's tastes. We should be thankful when the consensus is
as clear as it is now :).

Keep up the good work,

Philipp
