As we discussed a while back, I hope to upgrade to WP 2.5 before the
next issue (and within the next two weeks, if possible). And while
we're at it, we're updating the theme a bit, too.

To that end, please have a look at http://c4lj.xplus3.net/ and tell me
what you think. It follows the general appearance that Sean laid out
in his draft, although I haven't implemented the fonts he's wanting.

I appreciate your comments and criticisms.

Have a nice day,
Jonathan

Looks good! BTW: Where do we stand on the PDF "view" option?

I like it! Would be awesome to have that rolled out before issue 3.

I'm too am curious if Ryan has made any progress on the PDF outputter.
Ryan, are you here?

I like it better than the current one.

But I am curious about the copyright at the bottom of the page,
especially in light of recent discussions about CC. I assume it means
the layout, not the content is copyrighted? Or what?

I'm around, mostly. I'm just getting back from a trip to England
(almost home!) so I haven't worked on the PDF stylesheet lately. By
next week I hope to resume work on this and get draft PDFs for both
issues out to the mailing lists for people to look at. Detailed status
info here: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Code4Lib_Journal_PDFs

I think the updated web look is good. The formatting this round is
tighter and I think it improves readability. I didn't get around to
commenting on Sean's designs earlier, but I wasn't super crazy about
one or two of the font choices, they were a bit much I thought. I'm
still in favor or some new fonts, but any exotic ones may be hard to
implement too. Text as graphics? Flash replacement? Hope people have
them installed? I'm not sure, more stuff to think about anyway.

That's mainly why we're still on plain old Arial/Helvetica.
Implementing SFIR is a little more than I want to do this quarter. Any
font suggestions are welcome, though. I experimented with Calibri a
while back, but Jonathan R. said it was causing some problems on his
browser (e.g., bold text was invisible).

Mostly "Or what?", to be honest. I put it there mostly for the
layout--that belongs to the journal. Not that any of us would
particularly care if the site's design was stolen. And anything else
that is copyrightable by us. Even if it is CC licensed, we would still
own the copyright on certain things. So pick your favorite
interpretation of it.

Have a nice day,
Jonathan

Could we then specify, Layout © 2008 The Code4Lib Journal? -J

I think I'd rather just keep it "© 2008 The Code4Lib Journal" and then
make it a link to a page that further explains the copyright and where
to ask permission to use something.

Of course, we need to come up with a definitive conclusion about
requiring a specific CC copyright license first. I'll send out a message
under a different subject (so people don't overlook it if they are not
following this thread) suggesting we take a course of action before
Issue 3 comes out.

Edward
