IANA "grid expert", but I think it would be a huge missed opportunity not
to let this be used for content. It could be a great help with pages like
Portals, which are currently reliant on loads of inline styles for layout,
or worse, tables.

A grid system for content authors would be useful as

been some discussions about better semantic markup for image widths
and placement as part of the change to image thumbnail sizing which
landed last week and was reverted yesterday.
This doesn't seem to be included in the current RfC (which seems to
concentrate on features for skin authors) -- do the "grid experts"
think that discussion of how this might be used in content would be
on-topic for the discussion tonight? [7pm Boston time, somehow Sumana
left out the east coast from her list! ;) ]

the creation of user interfaces and make them

Check out the new patchset

"It makes the log-in form responsive (adjusting layout, typography and
visibility to the current screen size). It does not leverage all the
potential of responsive design, but may be useful as a demo to help the
reviewers."
This is at a time meant to make it easier for Australia and China to
participate.
Sydney: Tuesday 9am
Beijing: Tuesday 7am
San Francisco: Monday 4pm
I'm sorry for the late announcement of this one; for the next several
weeks
I'll be haranguing authors to help me get
discussions set up a few weeks
in
advance. :)
