I think a simple design such as Josh's is ideal to use for all kid facing pages. The school server could benefit from a similar theme. Personally, while I think someone talented (as Josh obviously is) could make a related theme for adults and kids, it is much more important to have a less text-intensive, more kid-friendly face for the target audience, which is kids. One comment on the design itself...perhaps have a thumbnail screenshot of the activity visible for enlargement if available? We could encourage authors to supply one when the activity is submitted. <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d"> Things are kind of confusing right now > with the different styles of wiki, trac, addons, schools, gitorious, api, > buildbot, etc. planet is the lone exception, it seems to follow > <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">wiki.sugarlabs.org</a> nicely :) > It would be great if the Design Team could comment on this decision. > Here are a couple other web infrastructure ideas: > + Improve theming consistency among various SL.o sites. > + Single sign on cookie among all SL.o sites - perhaps OpenID based. > + Standard nav header atop all SL.o sites rather than the various nav > headers in different places, with different links. </div>The various gnome sites such as <a href="http://build.gnome.org" target="_blank">build.gnome.org</a> and <a href="http://www.gnome.org" target="_blank">www.gnome.org</a> are very nice examples of common theming tying sites together.
