Hi all, A small status update on this topic...
I have suggested to Louis that we make the transition optional for a reasonably long period before moving to a tableless layout. You can see the proposed structure at: http://patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/tableless/index.html This is quite different to what is currently implemented at test.OOo. This is very similar to the underlying layout of the Wiki, only applied to the OOo website. In the HTML, the content comes first, followed by the left hand navigation, the subheader, and, finally, the header - a near reversal of the current layout. This proposed layout is also more simple in terms of the code needed to construct it when compared with the current OOo website. It works with all major browsers - including IE6. The footer will still always appear at the bottom of the page even if the page contents is shorter than the browser's height. The main problem in transitioning will be the custom stylesheets that projects have written to override the default CSS. This is why opt-in based phasing in seems like a good idea to me; it would allow us to work through any issues when the project leads are ready to invest some time to this. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Is there some other layout you think would be better? Are there any limitations/problems that you see with this approach?
