Are you handy with graphic design, or > would you feel more comfortable just working on the code? > > Cheers, > Stew Hi Stew, I'm primarily a developer, but I do plenty of UI work in my day job; I would say that I'm not brilliant at designing sites from scratch, but am pretty good at tweaking existing designs and designing new bits that fit in with existing designs - if that makes sense! I've been reading the mailing list archives and hacking around in the code for prototype.php.net and am looking forward to getting stuck in. I've got a few questions I'd like to ask before I start doing any of the available tasks, but I'll start a new thread for that (probably tomorrow). Thanks, - N
