You took care of one that has long bugged me, the content getting tucked under the right nav bar. I tested a table layout, and it worked great: http://wiki.linuxgrrl.com/KarstenWade/TableTest I'm very very very happy with that look. I also like how the text wraps around the nav element, as seen here; http://wiki.linuxgrrl.com/MairinDuffy > I was also looking to come up with a style that > would fit in nicely on another CMS, so maybe we could use the wiki for > being a wiki and have a CMS that is managed more carefully for > non-contributors looking to learn more about Fedora - see the navbar in > the mocks? (not in the theme yet) +1 Yes, this design separates the Wiki-ness in a way that we can use it for multiple faces. Perhaps the Edit etc. tools can be a general tools area where the Web-app specific tools are displayed. I notice the "More Actions:" drop-down is missing; is that intentional? Perhaps it could sneak back into the right-side menu? Or does it belong with the other action tools? > I figured I would send this out so more people knew about it (folks have > been helping me out with it this weekend in #fedora-admin). If anybody > has ideas on how to improve it (especially bling-wise :) ) let's discuss it! One thing that is bothering my eyes is the way the Edit et al tools bounce when moused-over. The cool highlighting (I like) makes the other elements shift out of the way when it is activated (I don't like). The table of contents [[TableOfContents]] is a little plain/unadorned. It could use something to make it stand out just a bit. Faint border around it? I'd also like to see the sub-headers not get so much leading space. One thing I wonder ... the color of the general paragraph and header font is a medium gray. I've heard about some advantages to doing that, and it looks fine for me. I'm wondering how it looks for people with worse vision than mine. I reckon Paul Frields saw this already, and he is usually one of my bellwethers in this regard. Formatting example: http://wiki.linuxgrrl.com/KarstenWade/FormattingTest Other feature ideas ... * Use some of the banner space to display the Fedora News feed; we're going to be doing a more regular update (daily?), so the content would be fresher. * Replace the search with a fancy, AJAX search (with an elegant failure method) that searches across all Fedora websites. Maybe the fancy AJAX allows for inline filtering of searches, etc. cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
