I ([[User:Mikepeat|Mike]]) have just modifed the sidebar (the panel on the left of every page) to add "sections". (If any Sysop is not happy with this then it can be undone by editing the page [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]], or by just reverting my changes to it.) I have used the sections as currently laid out on the main page, but I would like to propose a significant restructuring of those sections. I will take no action until there has been reasonable discussion of it here and a consensus reached however. | I ([[User:Mikepeat|Mike]]) have just modifed the sidebar (the panel on the left of every page) to add "sections".

::Yes . The need for having a "cookbook" can be adressed by having a category for all the different recipees. I think we should proceed in this direction . I removed the cookbook links from the frontpage and the navigation. --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 20:12, 21 November 2007 (CET) | ::Yes .

==Style Guide?== | |||
At the suggestion of [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] (what is that all about anyway, Matt? <g>) - see [[Talk:Web_Service_Basics]] - I have been changing the colour I am using to emphasise stuff - in this case (for now anyway) changing <span style="color:blue;">blue</span> to <span style="color:midnightblue;">midnightblue</span> to avoid confusion with hypertext links (I'm not sure that is enough - I think I've just made them look like visited links). | |||
However it would have saved me this effort if I'd had a guideline on what colours etc. to use from the start. I think we need to evolve some kind of consensus "Style Guide" which would help us all use a nice, clear, consistent style for various things. It would be bound to be an evolving document, as we are unlikely to think of everything on day one and will have to be flexible and inclusive rather than prescriptive, but the sooner we start laying it down, the less time will be wasted later fixing stuff up that doesn't match or looks ugly. (''I did experiment with using a template - [[Template:Colorise]] - but couldn't get what I wanted to work: the amount of time I can afford to devote to learning the WikiMedia Template [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_programming_language DSL] is strictly limited!'' <g>) [[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 11:03, 22 November 2007 (CET) | |||
