Logo

As of 2008-12-10, dhl thinks the logo could still use some tweaking. In particular, the white-on-yellow of the "L" in the triangle isn't very legible. Suggestions include darkening the yellow, lightening the background behind the logo with a translucent "glow" layer, or swapping the colors of the shapes (but avoiding a red-yellow-green stoplight order). --- Jadrian Miles 22:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

HOWTO bloat

As the HowTo section grows we might want split it into a section realated to our code and another for everything else (like writing a paper). --- Brad

One note to be added to some HOWTO: umask 002 needs to be in some sort of FAQ or getting-started doc. --- Jadrian Miles 03:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
