After a little over a week after having started this section, it's time for a small update.
I have been thinking about how to combine all that has been said here and how to have people work together on this like you would with programming.
I've currently started on a user editable template system (using
mustache) that allows people who have logged in to create their own templates for pages (and edit css and upload images).
When I'm done you should be able to create your own site layout, or clone one from someone else to make changes or tweaks. Your layout can be linked to and selected from within the site so others can see it.
I think at first I will allow people to do this for the front page and log in page only. It should set the tone for the rest of the site while not allowing people to run ahead of themselves and start creating content pages while not even the overall look has been decided. Although it should actually be pretty easy to update the entire site layout with the template system. Maybe I'm trying to say : we'll start with the most visited landing page and take it from there.
I'll need a few days to get this up and running. I'll post here when I'm ready for people to have a first look.
If in the meantime anyone has any suggestions or tips for this, please let me know.
