Re: Clutter away!

Heya, I took upon myself to try and restart the whole redesign thing since it seems to have died off (again :/) and I very much hate the current php.net site and I would love to see a new version make it's way there one day. Anyway, I made some changes to the content area since this didn't get much love yet, you can see it there http://ip.seld.be/php.net-redesign/ (home hosting, be patient), for reference the current version is still hosted as http://prototype.php.net/ in case anyone forgot/missed it. List of changes : - Clutter removal: prev/next function links, lang nav blah that didn't seem used, function name above user notes, last updated date, basically stuff that is not useful and is there because some coding nerd thought it was a great feature 10 years ago, I guess. - Styling of user notes, notes and warnings, with I believe meaningful colors. I kinda like the blue for the user notes, it stands out quite a bit so when scanning the page you clearly see where the docs end and where the user notes maze starts. - Link on the h1/function name - W3C validation If approved, please grant karma to my seld user and I'll commit. And in any case, I hope the work on this will be resumed and please let's try to honor the PROTOTYPE_2010 name of the branch and get this baby out by end of year ! Cheers, Jordi

I agree the site style really needs a refresh. I'm ready to vote +1 for any change, regardless of whether I personally like it or not. I would like to see incremental changes made. In general, trying to solve all problems has often resulted in incomplete projects that are never implemented. I'd be fine with initial changes being made only to part of php.net, e.g. the documentation. At any stage, accessibility & functionality should be no less than we currently have.
