Hey Stewart, Lets stick the elephpants in the footer with the dulled overlay by default, then when you hover over the images the light overlay kicks back in. We can think of a much more informative piece of data to put in there. I'm on a mac now and having issues running a PHD command on my localhost in order to start working on the prototype again. A problem i noticed about this prototype dev is that people want to contribute but don't know what work needs done. I suggest a more intuitive way for the PHP community to find our task list and it will be good for us to keep organised and see the prototype to completion. Let me know your ideas, I was thinking about replacing the green bar that I added at the top with a "development bar" containing links to stuff such as "Open Tasks". What's your thoughts on that ? I been too busy recently to focus on php.net work. Good to be back :) Cheers, Paul. > >> >> In the footer: >> >> >> http://f.cl.ly/items/2Z1q3k3c2s2c0E0T452b/Screen%20shot%202011-07-08%20at%2011.44.43%20PM.png > > -0.5 > >> >> Dark overlay: >> >> >> http://f.cl.ly/items/2Z1q3k3c2s2c0E0T452b/Screen%20shot%202011-07-08%20at%2011.38.36%20PM.png > > +0.5 > >> >> Light overlay: >> >> >> http://f.cl.ly/items/2Z1q3k3c2s2c0E0T452b/Screen%20shot%202011-07-08%20at%2011.38.10%20PM.png > > -1 > >> >> Let me know what you think.
