Beth, your proposals sound interesting... but they'd be a whole lot easier to evaluate if you'd just make up the page or CSS stuff required and post it where we can all get a look at it.
Done. The test page is up at http://bajac.com/boost/
Could we please, please get this rolled in 1.33? IMO this is a huge improvement in terms of the page readability.
That's also my opinion (I did like some tiny details of the old page better but that could be taken care of for 1.34).
Regards,
I really like the new link colouring. It seems to me that embedding links in continous text in a way that is a) easy to ignore when you are reading the text and b) easy to find when you are looking for the link, is essentially a hard problem. I would argue that Beth has got about as close as we are going to get (although I believe Rene objects to underlines). It WOULD be really nice to get this in to 1.33, but on the other hand I am not sure we have a consensus yet AND it is awfully late in the day to be making /any/ changes to the release. Final question: How do we go about establishing if we have a consensus or not so that we can at least update the main boost website? (Even if we can't include in 1.33). -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434
