Re: [ISSUES] Commented: (JLCP-197) Website doesn't show well in Opera

We were a bit crunched for time and finished late, so it was rushed.  
This time I would like to see more progression throughout the entire 
release.  As for each module, I suppose you can choose it so they have a 
different look and feel, providing that is easily explained and easy to 
do :)  After this is all done, we're going to need some documentation on 
creating a new theme and modifying the site.   Also, I'm going to write 
a module manager Wed. or Thurs that will move all the directories in www 
around into their own module directories (www\modules\links for 
example).  This will define the actions available to each action and the 
main panel associated with it.  What this does is takes your 
layout-config.xml file and breaks it down into the smaller components 
for easier managing.  We'll also take the same concept for blocks and 
for each block config file in www\blocks we'll add the panel information 
to your layout manager and have it displayed.  The end goal here is to 
make it so people can easily add new modules and blocks simply by 
writing a config file and some html.  Does all that make sense?  For 
your themes, we just need to have a way so that for new modules, the 
user's pages that they insert are just the logic with all colors and 
themes automatically being assigned by the theme.  Can this be done?

Thanks,
Matt

PS>  Many of the tasks that Greg filed are related to the UI, pick up 
whatever ones you can, but it is imperative that we get the UI easy to 
be modified.  Right now that isn't really the case.  Also, go ahead and 
change the forum taglibs, please make them fit into the design that we 
have used for Links.  Arun, I know you wanted to do those, but we have 
plenty of other things for you to work on :)
