[TYPO3-UG US] New Design for TYPO3.us

[Jennifer Lynch]

Yea, Virgil!!! Thanks for joining the work crew rather than the debate team.
I'd like to encourage everyone on the list to follow your example.

You're also absolutely right about putting these drafts up for review. It
really is necessary to have a number of people looking at these to catch
errors.  You can find my Education solutions page to review at:
http://test.typo3.us/fileadmin/typo3us/template/architecture/educationsoluti
on.pdf   (right now, it's listed under the Solutions/Description category as
the format example. ). I realized after Michelle had posted the Education
solution that I'd written "something or other" when I couldn't think of the
phrase I wanted in the second Challenge box on the table intending to go
back and fill that in, and then forgotten to do it. So yes, the more editors
the merrier!  (and the better!)

I talked to Michelle last night and she said she'd post links to the docs as
they come in on the Roadmap.  Once pages are sent in to Michelle, she'll
list your name, and the solution or case study, or whatever page is chosen,
in the appropriate category of the Roadmap and people can go in to check
them out.  Any editorial comments can be sent to the person who wrote the
page and that person can incorporate them for the final draft.  Michelle's
looking over my government solutions now and adding a bit to the non-profit
case study I wrote, so they will be up soon too.  Just keep checking the
Roadmap.

As for those who would rather debate than write content‹just remember, your
name and company will only appear on the site if you¹ve written content for
it.  If you want the US market to think there¹s only two or three TYPO3
companies in the States, it¹s your choice.  We¹d rather have your work up
and a range of companies represented, but if not, the rest of us will have
to start hiring employees to keep up with our increased business.  ; )
