With all the little intraweb apps we seem to be tacking on lately, I think we should develop some basic guidelines or a css style sheet of what the default colors, fonts, etc we should use. Otherwise, I think the user experience for these programs won’t be optimal, as each app will feel unfamiliar and users will resist using them, because it seems like ‘another thing to learn.’
Thems my thoughts.

Very true. I’ve been sticking with the TOES template for this reason, but this is a worthwhile thing we should discuss. Maybe this would be worthwhile to do at the end of our Tech meeting, or near the end so Will can bugger off? We could most likely do it in 20 minutes I think.

Yah this is something Meylnne and I have been talking about as well. We’d like to see whatever the dashboard/internal homepage is carried on through out. Is there any way we can come up with something like http://www.bazoongi.com/graphics/ except with all the graphics, colors, and fonts for the entire company? Just a thought

Yea I think a graphics repository is a good idea.
I have created a project on grouphub for th intraweb redesign, and invited all the relevant folks.
