Your update of mm looks a lot better than my poor attempt, thanks!

Subject: Templating -- mirrormanager and our other websites
Last night I played a bit with the mirrormanager kid templates:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/
and tried to bring them along the lines of the current
fedoraproject.org
master template and the look-n-feel of the content of
translate.fedoraproject.org, and came up to this:
http://glezos.fedorapeople.org/mm-take3.png
Here's a list of most of our websites:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/DomainsList
In order to bring some of these under a common look-and-feel we can have
something like the following:
- CSS
- One global CSS that "just works" (think:
fedoraproject.org)
- One CSS with commonly-used items like the heading icons, etc.
- Each website can have its own CSS, overriding values from the
default
- Templates
- Can be overridden, so again, a master template can exist (think:
fpo)
- Probably another one or two, depending on our needs (eg. full-width
etc).
- Each website can define a master one overriding stuff from the
default; eg.
custom menu in sidebar -- see translate.fpo and above screenshot).
- Every page of a website can, in turn, override the above.
CSS's are easy to import. For templates, Toshio suggested to create a
package that will contain all the templates, so that a TG app can use
them, and we can update the package if we need to change, for example,
the footer of all our TG apps.
