For me it would depend on the horizontal screen estate, not fixed to a number, but 8 to 10 seems a reasonable choice. > [...] > 3) For the footer, an expanded array of links like the footer of Mozilla.com Bad example, as what you see when visiting mozilla.com depends on the language choice of your browser. If I go to http://www.mozilla.com/en/ there is a sitemap above the footer (with the same background as the footer, so maybe you mean that) on http://www.mozilla.com/de/ however, ther's only the footer I'd vote -1 for such a huge sitemap as part of the general footer. On the few entry pages: Yes, no complaints, but definitely not for all pages. It just takes too much screen estate, especially when you think about netbooks and the like. > 4) A new tableless layout This is something we can try now already, however beware of breaking pages (more precise the css) that makes use of the tables as selectors. As we don't have a staging site, it is not easy to do without breaking the site for at least a couple of minutes/hours. So either now, with still a week or two before the release of 3.2.1, or if you think it isn't doable in that timeframe after the release. > [...] > We could also evaluate the > action statements and how they fit into the rest of the site (eg > ensure consistency), I won't touch that topic - action statements or not has been exhausting. I personally still don't like it, but that's what has been decided upon, I'd rather not change that now. > [...] So bottom line: The problem is that we don't have a staging area, that you see the final rendering only on the live system. This causes a high risk of breaking the whole site. Given that a new release of OOo is soon to be released, you need be aware that any change now is time critical. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
