David To chip in my 2c; I think the issues that Helen is raising about the cluttered layout are valid - it took a while before I realized why - the page title is on the upper right of the page! This is a somewhat strange location... I think that if all the elements on the top were rearranged to follow that of a more "conventional" web page (eg. the Cocoon main site!) much of the discomfort and clutter would be reduced.
I attached a sample layout to the page: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/ConfigTodo for your consideration. As Helen said - thanks for all the hard work so far!

That would just leave big whitespace next to the logo. With that panel, i was trying to emulate the Excalibur Wiki and get some consistency for all Apache Wikis. Anyway, feel free to dive in and edit. People will hopefully say something if they do not like the changes. > - make 'latest release' a subheading of 'introduction' and lose the blue > background for it Done. > - make 'wiki migration' a subheading of 'news/recent changes' and lose the > blue background for it Done. > Is there a simple way to make the apache image (with the feather) the same > width as the textbox below it? I think that's more pleasing to the eye. No. One is an image, the other is table. Fixed now by adding the Help link to the top-panel. -- David Crossley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
