Having multiple themes gives 2 problems: - a security problem, if we are not very careful (I will not detail this) - a graphic layout problem, it turns out our setup is very sensitive to small changes like another font, and some of the pages tilt when you do that. You should also be aware that in order to keep our current theme running, I needed to patch some of the core code of mediawiki, it would be nice if a new them could avoid that. I suggest you make yourself a test instance of mediawiki (I can provide what you need of setup info, incl. a dump of the SQL), develop your theme, once you have it, make a couple of screenshot and get acceptance in here. Once it is accepted I am happy to take it, verify it, and install it on the production system. Sounds like a plan to you ? rgds jan i. > > Please comment. > > -- > Alexandro Colorado > Apache OpenOffice Contributor > 882C 4389 3C27 E8DF 41B9 5C4C 1DB7 9D1C 7F4C 2614 > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
