Just work it out with Eric and make the changes, this is the first
time in a dogs age we've made some progress. I'm sure you two can
sort it out and people will give you feedback when you do it. You
will get feedback but the people who do the work get to decide. I
don't think you can make the site worse :-)
Yup. How about I commit my stuff on a branch, and Eric can
incorporate stuff he thinks is worthwhile? I'm not going to have
much time after I get back.
I think that sounds great. I'm sure we'll get some feedback from
users and we can move toward some automatic categorization but until
we do it manually a few times we won't see what needs to be done.
I'll site my favorite quote:
---
People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more
examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.

I think we can make some patterns for kick ass site maintenance and
presentation for all projects and with a few rounds of Eric doing
some work I think we can.
Jason.
Eric - ok with you?
BTW, +1 on em's as long as it's applied to the actual skin (and
should maven-site.vm modify the skin too?). It just looked a bit
small, and lots of the images were misaligned. I'd rather stick
with the px's until the em's look right.
Cheers,
Brett
