Hey there folks,

As you know, David's anxious to get Bricolage 2.0 out the door. I'm
also anxious to get bricolagecms.org 2.0 out the door... and it's
pretty much ready to go. :-)

Please take a few moments today to give the site a review:
http://preview.bricolagecms.org/

Let me know if you find any:

+ Rendering issues (please provide a screenshot and your system
information)
+ Broken links
+ Typos or other copy-related issues
+ Etc.

Things are a still a bit rough around the edges, but I hope with your
input I can catch the last bits.

NOTE: Many of the old pages have been moved to the Github Wiki. The
"move" was a bit ad-hoc and those Wiki pages need a lot of clean up.
Instead of letting me know about those changes, why not click the
"Edit" button and JFDI! ;-)

Many thanks in advance for your assistance in getting this site out
the door.

Best,

Phillip.

Thanks for the feedback folks! I'm integrating those suggestions /
changes now. :-)

Phillip.

Got one small issue and one suggestion, from IE 8 (8.0.7600.16385) on
Windows Server 2008 R2:

The <dd> text is showing through:
http://yfrog.com/0jdefinitionsp

Maybe put a   between the word (showcase|tour|etc.) and the » so
it doesn't get split?
http://img176.yfrog.com/i/nbsp.png/

Otherwise, looks great (despite the whole IE8 experience)

This one is tricky! Ug. Didn't realize that IE8 doesn't support color:
transparent. Think I'll pull out that text for now (sorry folks
without CSS!).

The downloads section of the production instance doesn't point to the
new 1.11.4 anywhere - does that need to be republished?

Also, the both preview/published download pages still link to 1.11.3
under "Option 2. Get the latest development version".

This site looks so much better. We need some virtual beers, fo sho.

Bah. It was there last night, I swear. Fixed.

Also fixed. Phillip, that should probably be handled in the template, as I will forget to update those options before every release.

Best,

David

I noticed on the mailing list page, that the bugs list still refers to Bugzilla. Obviously, we kicked that to the curb.
