I'm relaying this message from David Poole, who isn't on this list yet (but he will be soon). He's done a lot of CSS design work on various wikispot wikis.
The CSS URL feature is unnecessary. However, by the same token that it is unnecessary, I argue that the CSS itself is unnecessary. This is because the css doesn't have anything to do with creating, accessing, or the general usefulness of the information management of the wiki software, it merely dictates how the information is displayed. The manner in which the information is displayed is merely eye candy, it makes it easier to read, but it is hardly necessary. Further more it adds complication, as one user could have a preference for a different display, perhaps they are color blind, perhaps they dislike certain fonts, or maybe they lack them. Accounting for all these preferences makes the inclusion of CSS too much a pain and thusly I propose the wiki should be reduced to a medium purely of information because there could surely be no way to easily account for everyone's preferences in the way the data is displayed. ~Dave The internet explorer and CSS developer On May 21, 2007, at 10:29 PM, Adam Dewitz wrote: > Is the User CSS URL feature necessary?
