Ok, but does it really matter if the discussion starts here or on the forum ? To me its important that we discuss it, reach consensus and move ahead. I am f.x. one that are not active on the forum, but still work to make sure all our services have a common look & feel (and also maintain our servers to make sure all our users have a good experience). I feel its important that wiki, forum and www have similar look so users dont get confused, but it is just my opinion. > > > But please remember all decisions are made on the mailling list in >> accordance with the "apache way" >> therefore we need to discuss it on the list as well. >> > > Did I suggest otherwise? > Where was the discussion about changing the header before designs were > uploaded?

First of all neither forum header nor wiki header have not been uploaded, it awaits lazy consensus on this thread. Uploading the headers without consensus would really not be the apache way. The current set of suggestions are quite different from the first set, and are of course open for discussion, but taking imitative and proposing a change, is in my opinion the apache way. To be fair the start of the discussion comes from the unstable forum which we try to stabilize, and while doing do so it is natural that people look to see what else could/should be changed. I expect other changes when we upgrade the different software packages (like phpBB itself). Take this as an opportunity, its the first time in several years, that the forum is being deeply maintained and undergo changes. Its quite possible that we cannot implement all ideas (after consensus), but having open BZ issues makes it possible to make the changes as resources become available. rgds jan I. -- _________________________________ Larry I.
