If you want, we can pretty much drop in the markup/CSS at
http://test.riczho.dyndns.org/wgo/ and start working on refining
CSS/letting people add content.  As promised, I've fixed the tab height
issue with an additional container div, and the Gnome foot is no longer
cut off on the general navigation.  This version should look reasonable
in Opera, Firefox, IE7, Konqueror, and Safari (although once again, I
don't have IE6 available at the moment).

My general mockup for the non-home pages is pretty much complete (except
for the content-dependent parts), and is written in valid, semantically
correct XHTML 1.0 Strict, as required.

Basically, all the should be necessary is to cut up the file a bit and
substitute a tiny bit of TAL in.  All images are available in XCF format
in the images directory.  (Although many of them are still just direct
cuts from earlier SVG mockups).

Just some extra things that I've done to make this easier:
* The CSS comments contain references to methods/techniques that I used.
* The HTML/CSS comments contain possible cut points (according to
http://static.flickr.com/112/316383710_402910b635_o.png).

Anyway, this should really help us keep to the timeline
(http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/DevelopmentTimeline) and allow us to get
an earlier start on making cleaning things up and getting some finer
details ironed out.  The set basic markup would also work well with your
idea to divide parts up (and I've structured the CSS file to help with
this).

Note: Even if the design isn't finalized yet, this markup should be
pretty stable, since I've already made necessary changes to facilitate
the necessary CSS techniques.  Because of this, the design should be
highly adaptable to any non-drastic changes that are made to the look
and feel.

If there are no objections, I can start editing/committing templates
files now (this would be a great way for me to familiarize myself with
Zope/Plone templating for later).

Thanks,
Ricky
