This is true ... but if you REALLY want to dig in to XSLT stylesheets in
the mean time, a "print-friendly" version of our pages (in addition to the
browse-friendly format with the navigation links) would be most
appreciated.

Looks good, however, like Ted says we're headed
towards Maven which has new LnF/stylesheets for
Jakarta sites.  I spent some time taking the
stylesheets/graphics from Maven-built sites and
applying them to Struts.  It looked great.  I'm no CSS
wizard though and had a couple outstanding issues
where some of the formatting of the page was off.

I would recommend taking the style sheets from Maven
and applying them to the Struts pages and then sending
another message with a link to that.  It should be
easy to do since all of our pages already go through
XSL.

I think it's definitely an improvement but it opens up other issues.  
Personally, I don't like Arial and prefer Verdana because I think it's 
easier to read and looks more professional.  Now, someone can come along and 
say, "Hey, Verdana stinks!".

I assume you did this by applying a simple stylesheet?  If it's easy to 
apply across the site, I'm all for it.

Ok, don't kill me.

Would anyone be opposed to adding a bit of style to our online docs?

Here's one proposal:

  http://www.open-tools.org/struts-atlanta/struts-with-css

Only Home, News, and Kickstart were modified.  So click between 'Who We 
Are'
and 'Home' so see before and after of style differences.


I apologize if my dsl flakes out for a short period, these things happen
when you have a shi##y ISP.

Re: Struts with style

[Ted Husted]

I wasn't able to get in, but in general, I doubt that anyone 
would object to any improvements along these lines. 

Though, we will be looking at Maven for 1.2.x/2.0.x and so 
anything we do for this release might be obsolete for the next 
=:0)

I just added a FAQ/Howto section. Next, I'll figure something 
out for the JSTL/Contrib stuff and try to get the news page 
updated. 

I would also like to break up the home page, since it's gotten 
a bit long (again).
