-== Testlayout for the main page (work in progress) ==
-I was working on a new main page to make the wiki look a bit more welcoming. This is just a temporary solution until the GNUstep homepage moves to the wiki (if at all), then the plain but elegant look of www.gnustep.org should be ported. The idea here is to move away from the "wiki == place for jotting down quick notes" attitude.
-Here's a first mock-up. I lifted most of the style and tables-code from the Wikipedia frontpage, hope nobody hunts me down for that~
-* Regarding the news box, I was considering having a page with 2 headers ("news" and "older news") and including the content from one heading as the news to minimize the tedious moving of old news to the archives. Well, it seems that there's no direct way of doing this, making macro programming necessary... which I am not bored enough to do. Meh. I'll leave it at simply including the news template since it's easier to edit that than to wade though all the tables-code here.
-* The PoeIcon is a placeholder.
-* If a new part of core or dev-apps is released, someone's gotta update the gnustep-core/dev-apps package AND the corresponding windows installer :P
-* Put the "Users" and "Developers" boxes in the navigation on the left or maybe in a template or a simple float? I opt for the nav box since that's what it's for: [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] + some CSS makeup.
-I can't modify [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]], so someone who can please test/apply this (given the current state of the wiki, nobody will notice if it explodes or links lead nowhere ;)):

-Thanks. Now, lemme skim the help on wikipedia/mediawiki (there's a lot in there, urg) for some suitable template-voodoo to select a specific heading.. I'm also planning to import wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_software software infobox template], create a new category "Applications" and use that as a replacement for the app db on www.gnustep.org. I'm also looking for template messages ("this is a stub", "this needs to be cleaned up", ...) and such to flag articles ([[Writing portable code]] is out of date concerning Nibs), how to have these articles appear on a special page and so on. Also, I want to move the "users" and "developers" box to the [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] and maybe use some CSS for coloring them. [[User:Madleser|Madleser]]

-== Software Template Test ==
-Steal this from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_software] and copy all the .infobox stuff from [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400] to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. I can't edit the .css file.
