Then , to summarize... is it there any obstacle at all to complete the HTML? If not, let's proceed so we can start creating pages.

It would be good to have at the end of this week an empty structure of editable pages following the scheme of http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewWgoStructure using the navigation tags defined at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/Navigation

Volunteers: who is responsible for completing the HTML and who is responsible of creating the pages?

I guess that by "completing the HTML" we mean writing down the templates. Well, they're almost there, the only thing missing is the correct way to handle the secondary navbar (not as in "structure", but as in content: we must write down the correct script because right now the content is the same as the primary navbar), among all the templates defined for the special content (like, the central part of the mainpage, the products etc etc).

Anyway, if by completing the HTML we mean having the HTML for every single page type that can ever be displayed by the wgo written out, tested, and all, it will take a lot of time. We don't even have many products (enhanced plone-softwarecenter with DOAP support, mainpage, and others I might be missing). In my experience as plone developer, skinning and CSS'ing usually goes along with the creation of the HTML, and has happened many times we decided to reorganize the markup a bit in order to make something render as the markup showed (adding a container div, mostly).

Said that, the HTML should be done by the same person that creates the style, so i don't think it's a matter of the developer. This because if we want to reach the optimal tradeoff between visual appealing and semantic, we should have someone who's able to see both sides of the problem.

Then the developer just adds in scripts that actually changes the content, but not the structure.

Just my 0.02
