hello? s5 with table of contents?

[maphew]

umm, hello? is this project alive or just an idea?

I'm seeking ways to make s5 with a table of contents and the current
slide highlighted. Has anyone done this? The desired outcome is
something like this:

thanks.

Somewhere in between? I just reactivated the domain last week, so there's not much going on yet, but my goal is to re-enliven the project.

That seems like a good idea, but I think it may be a little beyond what we're ready to do with S5 any time soon. Some basic questions I'm hoping to answer first:

- What should S5 markup look like today? Should it make use of HTML5? Microformats? RDFa?
- Can we get S5 markup producers to agree on a standard for markup?
- Can we establish a test suite to validate S5 markup?
- Could we maintain a central registry of S5 themes around S5 markup?
- What should the standard S5 JavaScript look like today? Should it make use of something like jQuery or Prototype?
- Could it include hooks for extensible functionality, e.g. table of contents? Could we maintain a central registry of plugins?

So while I hope to turn S5 into something that can easily include a table of contents, I don't think it's ready just yet.

As to HTML5, take a look at Google's presentation about (and using)
HTML5: http://slides.html5rocks.com/

That's done in about 300 lines of javascript, included in the page
apparently without any name or fanfare. The file is under an Apache
