When we were doing the work to generate the Docs from Daisy some people showed an interest in developing a new skin for the Cocoon site.
Those people may be interested to know that I recently developed a skin to mimic the look and feel at http://www.apache.org This is a much simpler skin, much cleaner and much easier to modify. It is *not* complete. I am not a CSS expert and I have not done any checks in different browsers. But it's a good start I created two versions of this skin, one for the old Forrest skins system and one for the upcoming themes system. The theme is more complete and, is without a doubt, easier to customise. But it is also using code that is less mature (it is unlikely to be in the next Forrest release). This prompts two questions: 1) Should I create an instance in the Forrest Zone that builds the 2.2 docs using this new ASF theme so that it can be used as a base for a new Cocoon theme. 2) are there any web designers here willing to work on the skin (you don't need to learn how to get it into Forrest at first, just provide CSS patches and I'll integrate with Forrest for you - you'll quickly see how it is done) NOTE: since this uses in development code it is likely that the build will break on occasion. I doubt this is a problem for 2.2 docs, but if it is a concern we can use the existing skinning system rather than the dispatcher. Personally I would prefer to use the dispatcher as it is easier to customise and will provide useful feedback for the Forrest devs. It is likely the dispatcher will be ready for release at around the same time as Cocoon 2.2 (I'm not sure how can I possibly know that in Open Source projects though) Ross
