Hi Stefan

(snip)
I figured out how to tweak CSS based issues, now.

Um, I forgot what the issue was, sorry.

Mimbo is looking good, two quick points:

My main concern is that the fonts are two small. I'll change that

ideally the text column should be less wide, to have some 
white space. Maybe a solution would be to have two (or three 
columns) but leave the left one completely empty? That would 
really help to give some breathing space; its a bit full now. 

This is a complicated issue. A Plone page is full of regions
internally which all have an (external) margin and an (internal)
padding. I need to know exactly *which* of these regions you 
want to
have changed. Unfortunately I have no quick idea on how to solve this
- though there are certainly some Firefox tools out there for such
purposes.

I think if we just have a column on the right for internal navigation in "home" (like on all pages except "home" at the moment) that will automatically constrict the main column and make it less wide...

I think it would be better to justify / align the text on the right also, that would make it look neater.

Another example of a website quite similar to us, which has a column on  the right (theirs is full of stuff whereas ours would be empty except at  the top for the categories):
 http://journal.cyborgsubjects.org/
 
 The proportions they have seem to work well in my view.


May be the best would be that you create a screenshot and 
somehow mark
the region you want to have empty on this screenshot. For 
instance you
can draw a red box around the space you'd like to have empty.

See above

Re title I am wondering if the subtitle is high-def enough so probably  best to wait before updating; sorry about that; will try to limit  iterations.

And a general remark:

  Yesterday Mathieu ONeil wrote:

Please *don't* repeat questions / requirements. This just adds
confusion - especially if you don't *cite* your original 
questions /
requirements.

In general I read your mails carefully and work on it when I 
have time
for it. When I did not respond to a topic then I haven't worked 
on it
yet - so why responding...

Well, as you know, my greatest quality has never been patience :-( 
Its also hard for me to know where you are at with some aspects of work as sometimes there are such large gaps that it feels as if communication on a topic is over.. I cant read your mind either. :-)


If you are still want to make sure whether I saw something please
*cite* the respective part of your mail - that is by inline quoting.
Anything else just adds to the workload unnecessarily.

OK


This also means: I'll work on any question / requirement you 
had. If
you decide that a question / requirement is irrelevant - for instance
because the new theme don't has a certain problem - please say so.
Please remember that I can't read your mind.

OK

Maybe we should schedule a quick skype session later this week 
to move things along, if you have time?

I have no Skype and I don't like it because of it's proprietary
nature. Generally I'd prefer working by email.

OK


cheers,
Mathieu
