The implementation of the secondary pages might be tricky. If I remember correctly, many pages currently only have a header that you can include, but no footer. You may need to compromise the layout in this regard initially and then transition to the ideal version later, after the markup of all the pages has been updated. > If my design proposal is accepted, I would be able to code up the > design > as SGML/XSLT templates so that the existing website can be rapidly > converted to the new style and launched in time for 6.0-RELEASE. You should be able to use the code in Devon's perforce workspace for this. http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/user/ dodell/new%5fwww/en I think you can pretty much get from there to your proposal with CSS adjustments.
