Appreciate the comments. I'm going to spend some time on content first, then come back to this.

I'm still not clear on the tables vs. CSS issue. Yes, presentation vs semantics - I grok that. I've read the articles, am familiar with the trend. But we already do this with xdocs.

CSS makes sense to me in some ways. I use CSS extensively in my websites to centralize formatting statements. The printing argument is particularly convincing. (it'd be nice to eliminate the ant task for creating printable documents). I just don't get why everyone is moving from tables to CSS for broad page layout - it seems about the same amount of work. (maybe more- CSS can be quirky with cross-browser issues and has trouble with footers).

Best,
WILL

* new logo
FYI -- the attachments died during an atlassian.com upgrade, so I had
recreated on the ASF wiki:

* CSS instead of tables (candidly I'm not sure why - to be
current with the latest trends, I guess)

* Confirm that all pages print properly. (CSS will help here).
