First site revision done, CSS layouts all layed out

• Completed the first revision for the SpaceOWL Web Site, today. It features a convenient "Splash page", and a simple "Landing page".

  • CSS layout semantics may not have seemd all too straightforward, at first, but after a couple of iterations, it's worked out, simply in using position:absolute (and no fixed 'top' position on those blocks) for the layout of the main page areas, in the landing page. That landing page, of course, likewise serves as a template for later pages in the site.
  • I've started reading about WAI-ARIA, today. I think it bears some further study and consideration, before rushing along to overdo it, in the SpaceOWL Project site design. It seems that a key phrase of the matter would be, assistive technologies - will read more about it, in the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices recommendation.
  • As far as integrating my (starting a shameless plug) my favorite tablet-based word processing and likewise HTML editing application, UX Write within the SpaceOWL Project documentation workflow, that should need some work with regards to Apache Ant and XSLT, I think.
    • Of course, at that point, it would also serve to introduce a concept of dependency management into the SpaceOWL Project codebase.
    • So, then, that would also be a good focal point - dependency management, namely - in regards to web site template mechanisms. (I don't suppose the project needs to use Maven and Ivy, both, so I think I'll just pick one or the other, to start with)
