Short description

One of the most annoying things dealing with Moin (not only for the programmers but also for the users) are the various browser bugs which can spoil the screen output totally. For Moin programmers it takes a lot of time to fix all these bugs for the various browsers, especially for that rotten thing called IE. Time that misses to concentrate on the implementation of new features and fixing bugs - and it's no fun at all. On the other hand users often cannot judge the code quality of Moin, they only see the result on the screen und display problem which lead them to judge the engine as bad. This a bad for MoinMarketing.

The idea is now as follows: Why not outsource the whole caring about browser fixes to a third party by integrating a CSS/HTML framework like e.g. YAML (http://www.yaml.de/index.html and http://drupal.org/node/92325). This would mean:

But these are all just ideas I want to share. I'm not experienced enough to judge all the details of the Moin code, YAML code and their integration. But I think to find a way to leave all that layout and browser fixing stuff to a specialist is worth a thought, also the way to ease theme creation for users maybe.

I had a quick look at http://www.yaml.de/ (btw: bad project name, see http://yaml.org/ - I found this wiki page here by searching for the other YAML) and we can't use this for moin because everything is commented in german and that would be bad for our non-german users and developers. So while your general idea is definitively appealing, we can't use that. -- ThomasWaldmann 2007-04-08 16:23:48
