Is it going to make it easier to manage changes, or give us better organization, or a more consistent look 'n' feel, or...???... The snapshot looks nice (less cluttered than what we have now), but I'm not sure what how much of the difference is due to the use of XML, how much comes from a reorganization of the information, and how much comes from you using a different browser to render the page from what I usually run. What should I be looking for here? (You probably recognize by now my let's-use-nik-as-a-learning-resource stream of questions.) > So I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to branch www/, and start putting > some things on the branch for people to test and play around with. > Thoughts? Clearly I don't know enough to evaluate the merits of your idea but I certainly can't see a branch hurting anything. I'd say go for it.
