I can't access http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/web_mockup.jpg
can anyone who can access this page put on his/her own webspace please
When I viewed this webdesing I'll vote.

BTW: Is there any chance that the CMS will be skinable?? If this is
the case we don't need to vote, we can implment them all.

Static pages:
All static pages are generated with the RosCMS generator. A skin support was
intended but this feature is not completly finished. Every skin need its own
folder with a copy of the static pages with different design. 

RosCMS interface:
the interfaces are based on templates. it will not be a problem to add new
templates or skins for different usergroups.


But overall this is not a technical problem, only a decision.

Pro:
* different skins select able (combo box)

Con:
* more static pages (for each skin an extra version of the same page
(content) with a different skin, and language)


e.g.:

/en/*.htm
/de/*.htm
/fr/*.htm
/xhtml/en/*.html
/xhtml/de/*.html
/xhtml/fr/*.html

/skin2/en/*.htm
/skin2/de/*.htm
/skin2/fr/*.htm
/skin2/xhtml/en/*.html
/skin2/xhtml/de/*.html
/skin2/xhtml/fr/*.html

/skin3/en/*.htm
/skin3/de/*.htm
/skin3/fr/*.htm
/skin3/xhtml/en/*.html
/skin3/xhtml/de/*.html
/skin3/xhtml/fr/*.html


In my opinion, the skin support has no real advantage for static pages.
But I can imagine some benefit for different skins for sub-systems like
phpbb, mediawiki or the compatibility database (for different usergroups).

e.g.:
* normal user take the default style
* gamers prefer a more colorful skin
* older people like styles with a good contrast (black/white)
* etc.

>   ...the case we don't need to vote ... 
As I
mentioned above, it is not a good idea to provide a skin support for
static pages. So we need one design. But maybe there will be some skins
available for sub-systems (see above).

We could make a skinnable CMS, but we don't want this. A skinnable site
isn't very professional and not too common for an OS site...

It isn't important that
http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/web_mockup.jpg is accessible
because there is another mirror that works. For some voting
possibilities there are more than one link, but each link should show
the same. So you can simply see the page here:
http://brandonturner.org/ROS/index.html

Greetings
Michael

AFAIK RosCMS actually allows any designs you like (in fact it's the  
purpose of CMS, separate design from content, and change each other  
separately).

WBR,

Interesting. Since when was that my desing? That's simply a rework of
my design and, to be honest, has hardly any resemblance of the
original design.

Now, the reason why devnet isn't accessable atm. is that I got to this
interactivity design school so I'm moving. Plus, I changed my internet
provider which seem to cause the hosting problem.
I did move the picture to temporary location, which can be accessed:

I vote for Klemens Friedl because the design is good(though most of 
these are) and he is putting a lot of work into the CMS and giving great 
features to the site.
