Greetings to the whole list,

lately, there have been some interesting discussions going around on here.
The results of these discussion are:

1) We will first come up with a complete markup, then start implementing CSS
on top of it
2) We will use XHTML served as text/html (or any variant, like serving it
like application/xhtml+xml to compliant browsers etc etc)

Anyway, what we need to do now is organize the work a bit. I took a look at
the templates, and before diving my hands into the code, I'd like to come up
with a proposal of "work-areas". Meaning, the page will be splitted into
various areas, and developers / CSS writers can choose an area, announce
they're working on it and "take" that area.

At http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/316383710/ you can see a
modified PNG of Maìrìn mockup (it's on old one, but the latest "full bodied"
available) where the areas are clearly indicated. Each area will be, in my
idea, enclosed into a <div>, each one having a distinguishable id.

Section A: General navbar
   Status: almost done, needs refinements

Section B: Navigation & header
   Status: Mokcups ok, functionality needs to be completed, no HTML
structure, no working CSS (somewhat)

Section C:
   Status: Mockups needs to be refined[1], functionality/HTML/style depends
on the content, portlets[2] yet to be defined

Section D (footer and colophon, is not in the diagram):
   Status: No mockups, no functionality, no HTML, no CSS

If you all agree I'll format the main template in order to accomodate the
said areas into it, and hence have the "skeleton" on which insert the other
pieces (templates).
Would be cool if people took care of the developement of a certain area
(like, B-HTML) and acted as reference for that.

I can take care of the main template, if anyone else doesn't want.

[1] Anybody that has the admin password to a working plone install knows
that exists the so called "green border" which embeds all the editing and
administrative tools. How we skin it? Also each product/ content type has to
be skinned a bit in order to uniform with the general look & feel, and it's
what makes section C a PITA.
[2] The portlets are those little elements on the right side of the page
that are treated like "pieces" easily addable through the admin interface
and are somewhat external to the whole site, so let's just reserve them the
space to render into :D

That's all,

Simone

P.S.
Would be cool if someone can write down a simple HTML structure for the
mainpage (some what of a "the main page HTML should render like this"), and
commited into the svn DOC directory.

way to learn German.
<mrPants> You learn it very quick
<mrPants> The problem is that you only know how to talk about sodomy,
canibalism, incest, and death
<granola> there are other things to talk about?
