I am definitely volunteering to look at making these changes, but don't |
25 |
have the time immediately. |
26 |
|
27 |
I intend to look at this over Xmas / January and hope to submit some |
28 |
patches. I've done some work with the GuideXML stuff used in the Gentoo |
29 |
docs and site before, and I know where the items I want to change are |
30 |
through some asking around. |
31 |
|
32 |
My plan was to implement a public copy of my proposed changes on my own |
33 |
server and submit patches to Bugzilla. |
34 |
|
35 |
I was going to take the changes in bite-size chunks - so first I'd |
36 |
simply redo the menus (without changing the actual site structure where |
37 |
possible - which it should be I believe). |
38 |
|
39 |
I'd then look at the extra pages I suggested after that. |

I'll take a look at beandogs packages site to see what he's done - |
42 |
thanks for the pointer. |
