Wow, http://csszengarden.com is impressive. It would be great if we could do this with pd.org and then have any member able to submit a CSS, which would be selectable as a preference. Then we could also have 'guess appearances' on the front page of the various designs.

Hallo,
heyho ;)
Actually I think, that no one is currently working on the graphical side. I would like to change the logo someday, because the color(s) just doesn't match the rest of the page.
okay, so i'll set up an instance with a new design (is there a pd.org ci?
What's a "ci"? What happens to pd.org content and design-wise is bysically decided here on this list, but as IEM hosts the site, all technical things have to go through them, i.e. Winfried Ritsch. I don't know IEM's plan's regarding a migration to plone 2.0, but at least for pd.org it might not be a big problem: We don't have much content yet and the skin is almost the default.
or can i do "what i want"? logo too?) as prosposal.
It would be nice to see a proposal in advance, so nobody feels bad with it, but until now nobody has done much graphics anyway.
i can show you a kind of a graphical portfolio if you want me to.
don't expect me to finish the portal within the next two weeks, i'm currently very busy :)
(I think it was planned to make a whole skin, but it didn't work out yet obviously).
making skins for plone 1.0 is very risky. the 1.0 skin architecture was pure hell, so migrating from a heavily changed 1.0 skin will be nearly impossible... 2.0 is much more modular. but as i said, most of the time, changes to the templates aren't necessary because nearly everything is changeable with css.
Is your skin visible somewhere?
you can test the skin with the plone 2.0b1 tarball or just see it on test.plone.org. it looks like plone looked in 1.0 (because a part of plone is it's ui) but the code is different: accessible (wcag-aaa - section 508) and flexible (tableless - more ids/classes - more semantic code block positions, id allocation, classification).
This sounds very good. I tried to get the grips on skinning pd.org and seeing dtml once again made me stop rather immediatly, although I'm a bit comfortable with the CMF (if you search the CMF mailing list archives from waaaay back - ~5 years ago -, you might still find my name there ;)
Fortunatly web standards have come a long way since then, too, so it's good to hear that Plone goes CSS skinning, like on csszengarden.com which you have linked, too.
