Assumptions

To start with making our wiki up to date (in both regions: content and installation) we should take a moment to think about future and not the past. I would prefer to have conversation about what we would love to see, then bother about how we gonna get there. There for I would like to suggest few high level regions and reach mutual agreement on, that we all would support.

Colors

According to many webdesigners most of websites should be able to achive good readability and modern look with usage of 5 colors only. Mostly 4 colors in same range and one as eye-catcher. I propose first 8 colors, more for the range allocations than anything else.

• dn-TK

• dn-RT

• dn-MR

But to make our wiki more attractive using 4+1 should do the trick. Something like this:

• Trykers:

• Marauders:

Tabels

No HTML tables, all in CSS. CSS is faster and 'easier' for browsers to interpret. It is more flexible. 

Templating

We all know what template is. But do we know when is a template a good template? Friendly for contributors and as functional as it gets? Example below demonstrates my idea of templating in stages. Templet call should be as straight forward as possible. This can be best seen in button 4. Here some of my interpretations of staged templating:

No HTML buttons, all in CSS.

• dn-button-1 div to create a button, fixed size, fixed colors:
  

• dn-button-2 div to create a button, fixed size, colors thru parameters:
  

• dn-button-3 div to create a button, dynamic size, colors thru parameters:
  

• dn-button-4 div to create a button, dynamic size, colors thru pallete:
  

• dn-menu-buttons menu with dynamic with a button dynamic size, colors thru pallete:

Page elements

A nice concept of separated text in a box! Lets make it a bit more modern:

Paragraph

Biggest problem I see here horizontal line. Not line but its color. If we would use standard wiki markup we can not change its color. It appears at highest level.. Then it is there no more:

1

111111

2

2222222

3

333333333

That's why I would consider using an alternative approach.

Table

No HTML table here, only CSS:

Text box

Article

Navigation

Page box

Layouts

Main Page

This page should be attractive enough to invite people to read its content as informative as possible.
