tarquin-
I've just wasted my weekend working on designs, but never mind.
Whether you have wasted your weekend depends on
- whether someone else implements your skin, or
- whether we come up with a new skin system that is based on page
templates instead of code/HTML mix, so that you can do it yourself. Personally, I don't consider that a development priority, and it's unlikely that it will happen anytime soon.
My idea for a roadmap was this:
1. Create a new default skin that is more friendly to newcomers & casual readers. (Maybe even alter eveyone's preferences so people on Phase3 skin stay on Phase3 skin.) I don't think that what registered users like is as important as what is sound design and clear for unregistered users. Check my earlier post on "Lusers' eyes glaze over when faced with Wikipedia pages". 2. I can cope with PHP well enough to program this under the current skin system. 2b. Tweak the Phase3 skin so it's a little better. 3. (long term) Work on a template system 4. recode existing skins as templates and add new ones
In the meantime, please could someone answer my question: I have CVS access. How do I put things on the text server?
