I and Stephen think(!) that style.css now is reasonable on most platforms, i.e. tested on Mozilla (Windows+Linux), IE6 (Windows) and Konqueror (Linux KDE) and on these the result is very similar. Furthermore, site generation is several times faster than with the existing Maven solution. On my system a fresh generate take just less than one minute and a re-generate (files in filesystem cache) ~35seconds. And site loading is fairly effective as well. The Theme has been 'de-branded' and the 'brand' is settable through properties/parameters, for re-use in other projects/products. Any and all comments on Look is welcome. Some 'core' Avaloners have expressed concern over the Look's deviation from its history, and the 'norm' at ASF in general. Others have expressed support for this 'commercial' or 'corporate' look. What does the users think of this seemingly controversial path?? Should we keep the 'traditional' look or forge ahead with the 'commercial' look? Content Organization has just commenced, with the goal of increased usability.
