Anyone have good pictures for the placeholders Mel has?
I am probably going to use
http://www.flickr.com/photos/opensourceway/6082519627/in/photostream/lightbox/
for one of them, and thinking of yanking stuff from
http://blog.sdziallas.com/we-had-a-posse-thanks-everybody for more,
assuming proper licensing (Sebastian, is there a license on those photos
of yours? I can't find one.)
Regarding the yellow highlighting in the theme (ptkb aka promotional
teflon kittenbasket), I agree it's a bit confusing. You can see an
example of this theme in full use here:
It makes more sense in headers than body text. (At least, based on
that use case.)
So, I'm going to worry first about getting the content tweaked because
right now it is really awful made-up filler. I'd love help with a few
things:
* Pictures and images. Specifically, we need:
** A header graphic that doesn't say "promotional teflon kittenbasket"
** Photos of TOS people doing TOS things (I think I have these, though)
* Suggestions for better filler text than what is currently on
http://mchua.fedorapeople.org/tosredesign/ -- I'm running out of
TOS-time for tonight, but the next time I have to work on this, I will
get source up on github so it's easier to fork/tweak.
* Tweaks to the css files to incorporate improvements/suggestions (for
instance, if you think there shouldn't be yellow for <strong> tags
outside the header, poke that rule in).

to Karsten for posting his fork as an example,

* This is undoubtedly a stupidly simple question, but I don't know, off
the top of my head, how to automatically pull in data from the 3 latest
planet posts and the 3 next events
(http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page does, but it's
mediawiki transclude magic). I assume it's "put PHP in here somewhere"
and imagine that if I google "how to parse feeds" I'll be able to figure
out the Planet stuff, but being pointed to the right doc/tutorial will
save a lot of time. And the events part stumps me -- maybe we need to
actually stick them into something (gcal?) that actually generates a
calendar feed, then yank that?
