<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hi, <br>
<br>
I added the last stylesheets from Nuno because we had a problem
with the bullets. That last style sheet is messing things up
right now. I will put the old style back (from yesterday) and
than most of the problems are solved ;)<br>
Nuno, we can look at the problem from the buttons later.<br>
<br>
We can call the </font></font><font size="-1"><font
face="Arial">button Resources in the topmenu 'Downloads' than
it's clear for everyone that the download is there.<br>
<br>
I'm in a conference call right now but I try to sort this out
later to day.<br>
<br>
Oké?<br>
<br>
Bye,<br>
Inge<br>

– I can’t replicate those issues (except the typography
styles – that’s a consequence of things being written by
different people at different times and not yet having
evolved a style guide).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The whole point
– to me – about a community site is that it will evolve. If
we’re encouraging community wider contribution we’ll need to
accept a level of stylistic difference. I’m not getting any
jumping around of panels etc and I’m finding all the
resources I expected to on the Resources page.

the question of whether a community site is ready to be

this little bit of the community in southern England feels
the benefits of the site for new users far outweigh any
current problems. What does the rest of the community

<p class="MsoNormal">I have to say, I’m not sure the community
web site is ready for public consumption. If I go there now,
the links are all inconsistent and wrap badly, the login box
isn’t aligned, I couldn’t find the downloads, and I’m just not
very happy with the way it looks. When you navigate around the
pages, the panels jump about. There is inconsistent typography
in headings, margins, line breaks and font sizes, the
resources page doesn’t contain any resources, the resource
panel is repeated on both the showcases and resources page,
the FAQ page has styles all of its own and there’s a ton other
stuff: it’s all just a bit of a mess if you ask me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not putting down the work that has gone
into it, but I know we can do a lot better than this: it just
doesn’t feel finished, and it doesn’t inspire me with
confidence in the tools.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment I would prefer to put v2.0 on
the main Xerte web site and direct people there, and we can
continue working on the community site now we’ve got this
tranche of development work out of the way. We can re-visit
the styling of the application as well at the same time, and
make the two work together: Nuno applied the same set of
styles to toolkits this week, and it didn’t work very well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So here’s my recommendation: we put v2.0 on
the Xerte site as we always have done (or link directly from
there to Tom’s zip, without letting the user see the community
site if they follow the link from
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte">www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte</a>:
they just get the downloaded zip). Then we properly finish the
community site, and re-skin toolkits in the next batch of
work.</p>
