I like the idea of consistency, but I'm not sure that the style applies well to inner pages. It works to logically break out the home page, but in part because the page hits you with a *lot* of different things (access, information, external links). Font and color styles feel less like the content was being sqeezed into a "ranch" (cows surrounded by a fence). I do think tit gives a more polished feel, and the whole idea of a Wiki is that everyone has a voice. So, thanks for taking the initiative, Greg! > At some stage it might be nice to see if we can get some CSS-based > layout ... I would be much more interested in this kind of solution. Wiki markup should stay simple, especially since mixing style and layout tags with content raises the barrier for contributors. I have long wanted to work on a CSS-based layout for the Wiki, including the header and footer. I have been swamped at work lately, and I had hesitated in asking Warly for the access this kind of thing would imply (it would require some sort of access to the files via ftp or the like, rather than just Wiki editor access). Warly, would this be something you would consider for myself and others who would like to work on the site? I don't want to be presumptuous: I will try and put something together using the front page and an internal page as an example. Any result taking into account others' input could then be implemented? - John
