OpenWetWare talk:Getting started/Introduction

I like the new template... can we apply it to the others? --Sri Kosuri 17:43, 23 February 2006 (EST)

I like it too. It's from the wikipedia introduction. We may want to change the color scheme so it matches the site better (maybe colors from the new logo). Also, when the tab links wrap as the page width gets smaller the tabs tend to separate from the body of the page--any idea how to fix this?--Jgritton 17:57, 23 February 2006 (EST)

This page is really a template, not a page itself. I would say that OpenWetWare:Getting started should be the "real" page that the Main Page and the other getting started pages should link to. The idea for this scheme came from Wikipedia, it means that when new users click on the edit tab, the code looks very very simple such that they aren't intimidated by it. Nevertheless, these improvements are great. --RS 12:28, 24 February 2006 (EST)

• In my opinion, this is really a terrible way to introduce people to the wiki. When they click edit, they don't see what they saw on the page and so don't see the source of what's on the page. They have to understand templates to understand how this page works. It makes more sense to me to not hide the source when we're encouraging people to look at sources and edit it. --Austin 12:31, 24 February 2006 (EST)
