Well, we tried to keep it pretty, but it isn't possible in all cases due to the processing of CEE (CollabNet Enterprise Edition) > I see a lot of linespaces that just make it almost impossible to read. > Also there is no comment.

Better be the first to raise your hand when the staging server is available. I'm pretty sure we need to do some more or less heavy adaption of the website anyway. > Is not yet finished but would gladly share it if there is interest in > cleaning this html code, I understand the template is generated from > JSP code, but maybe this will help it produce more legible. Yes, some part is generated from the templates. They are in the "look" project, Ivan already sent a link to that one. The rest is copied from the html files from cvs as is. > Even if for the most part it works, there is some issues here since > there is a lot of space to simplify the code and make it more > straightforward. There is still some information lacking on some of > the classes and ids on what/why they are encapsulated. Yes, css is full of legacy cruft. But it isn't easy to just throw out everything as OOo is huge and you never know who else is using parts of it. Not to mention the servlets, IZ, Mailinglists, anything that is dynamic basically. That combined with different level of access rights (not all users see every control available), then you need to be extra careful. But yes, the migration to Kenai is a great opportunity to get this straight/to clean up. > Things like classes like navcol, navcolumn and navigation as well as > navgroup. Maybe some documentation could be created or enhanced. Well, there is documentation of the elements at the website, at least we once wrote a summary :-) > This > will make it easy in case we want to re-design the site with a fresh > look at least we could more easily map it. Again: As we will be switching hosting platform soon (from the current CollabNet Enterprise Edition (formerly called SourceCast) to Kenai, all efforts should be directed towards the new platform, not the one we'll abandon shortly. > Please give some feedback on the idea. Your ideas are very welcome, but let's wait for the kenai staging site. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
