Re: gFooBar website

[Ken VanDine <ken vandine org>]

I don't know much about the w.g.o web infrastructure.  I am assuming they are 
all plain html now, any reason not to use php for them all?  Perhaps we could 
use a shared set of includes for all project sites that.  Those includes could 
reference one standard css that is used for all project sites but could also 
reference a css unique to each site that could over ride things.  I would 
really need a better understanding of the current web infrastructure to really 
recommend something, but this is just an idea.

But something like this:

<?php include="/includes/sidebar.inc" ?>

Then sidebar.inc would include a reference to the sites css to override colors 
and fonts.  Also, sidebar.inc could include another include for things unique 
to the site, news.inc, nav.inc, etc.

<?php include="/includes/gFooBar/news.inc" ?>
<?php include="/includes/gFooBar/nav.inc" ?>


Just a thought.  I would be happy to help out with this... but again I know 
very little about the existing w.g.o setup.
