website - colors, style, finish
Folks,
Were the only project at Apache that keep the
<document><header><title>xxxxxxxxx</title></header></document> in final
HTML after processing thru stylesheets. About a year ago there was a
large scale stylesheet replacement at Apache and we noticed a loss of
this title when comparing the old to the new. Ever since we hastily
resurrected it, it has been yellow, three lines high and 80% of the
available width. Garish is the word that has always strikes me upon
looking at our docs.
I'd like us to consider going down a more designed road (confession I
have no UI skills). Attached is an alternate vew that I would find easy
to do in the stylesheets we have.
Thoughts?
Incidentally I have used JTidy to format the HTML. It is fairly cool,
but Unix like in its love of STDIN and STDOUT, and though that has an
advantage if considered to be a Java styler, it is cumbersome from
command line. I'll ask that team to consider an Ant taskdef.

It went live. Unilateral decision based on lack of feedback ;-)
It is not too offensive and easy enough to change.

Hmmm, html file stripped off.
Here it is in CVS : jakarta-avalon\src\proposal\a2.html temporarily
