Now that the design has matured over a six month period, where does the search box go? Back to the drawing board? > Yes, documentation is not in a good state. Feel free to improve it. The problem is that all of these aspects are interrelated. A better user system might be a catalyst for more organized documentation. The contents of the navigation bar might put beneficial constraints on where our efforts are focused. I've mentioned that I've begun reprocessing the docs under different but similar names (i.e. /installation instead of /install) in order to seamlessly transition to a new structure. However, this will all be in vein if said structure has no chance of being adopted by the default site template. > Well, that is not an approved design.

It's hard to be cordial when my suggestions of essentially keeping nothing and changing everything are being sent to an entrenched artist who is commandeering the project under a blurry portrayal of having been greenlighted by you. But I tried! I wrapped up my proposal and itemized the changes /that could obviously be made under any design scheme/. > With all due respect, Angleo, I'm starting to get a feeling you are > trying to prove something here, which is not necessarily a > constructive approach, and certainly doesn't leave a good impression. I'm just trying to get webpy.org functioning like a website made by a community of website makers. -- Angelo Gladding [email protected] http://angelo.gladding.name/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
