Folks

We've now got teo up and running, replicating weo exactly, except for  
one test article which I added just so *I* didn't get confused which  
one I was working on.

Cheers to Genghis for doing that.

What I think we should do now on teo:

1) Do the 4.6.3 upgrade and if successful, replicate to weo

2) Start fixing some of the hangovers from weo development and stuff  
people have pointed out since. Sources for these:
    * http://test.evolt.org/issues
    * http://test.evolt.org/evolt_3.0
    in particular, I'd like to fix:
    a) Article font size is too small
    b) better separate trackbacks - at the moment, they're stuck  
between the article and the author bio. Maybe move to before
         the comments?
    c) HTML validation - the form clearing Javascript from the old  
site isn't valid XHTML
   d) Form layout - in IE, most of the forms disappear way to the  
bottom of the page below the left column.
   e) Make the cubes in the page header part of the links

3) Look at some additional modules, in particular:
   a) Vimfilter - it's one giant step on from the current code- 
colouring module that works in PHP only. Vimfilter works
       for pretty much all coding languages. Needs a Perl module iirc.
   b) pathauto - automagically produces human-readable URLs rather  
than /node/1234
   c) Notify - lets users (and admin!) know when new content is  
available.

After that, I'd *really* like to look at l10n - enabling the  
interface to be presented in multiple languages.

Anyone got any different/additional ideas?

If you're working on the evolt theme, you'll need CVS access (yay -  
version control).

Cheers
Martin
