Sorry to come in late, but Minhaaj - please feel free to contribute to my work in any way you see fit. One thing I can see is needed is more padding around the nav box so that the text that is wrapping does not come to the box so closely..
It would seem that in terms of collaboration - WE has excellent capabilities in technical stuff like templates and more advanced features. This is great and very helpful... However, I wonder how we can get quick help and collaboration on the content side of things? Some members will remember me putting out a call for content for this Blogging handbook, but to date I have only had one contribution. I am not surprised or even the slightest bit disappointed, I myself have contributed very little to projects outside my own. Perhaps this is how it will be. The production of educational content can be quite a bit more difficult to find in roads for collaboration compared to say an encyclopedia. Articles in Wikipedia follow a standard format and are simple and straight forward for people to easily see a way in to contribute. But educational content does not have format standards and so every project is different and a bit more difficult to contribute to (such as Minhaaj's sensitivity towards editing "my" project). With the Blogging handbook, I am trying to create a standard that I hope will eventually be inviting to contribute content to. The standard design is around activity sheets where there is a title for the Objective, the Activity description, and then a list of Support Resources. Here for a template example: http://www.wikieducator.org/Create_and_maintain_a_basic_weblog/What_is_a_blog/Education But I still have a way to go in simplifying the structure and navigation around this Blogging handbook so that people can easily understand what its trying to do and how they might contribute an activity design..
