Having static files means styling/testing it requires re-running the scripts and see what possible variations there are. Having it dynamic, object oriented and managed as an output/skin thing makes it a lot easier and the layout will be abstracted seperately from the content. Right now it would probably mean having to edit bits and pieces of HTML string all over the place. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
