Hi All,
Perhaps we should have a discussion about some standard layouts/data for the various topics? Then we'll end up with a house style consistent (hopefully) across the wiki.....[NB]
Help here for uploading images: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Managing_files [NB]
Comprehensive Table help here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables [NB]
With regard to the Statistics table I think it would be best to fit as many columns across the page as we can. Otherwise it's going to push the rest of the content off the screen and force people to scroll down. It would probably also be good to do some Zebra striping on the table but we'll need the stylesheets in place to do this....[NB]
Added Windrush to table. Are there any more? Need Yanmar and Volvo pages expanding - volunteers? [DJ]
I've come to the conclusion that we need a better list of classes than just alphabetical. Probably organised by length with some annotation for Centre Cockpit, Ketch etc, etc.....[NB]
Yes would work but think less than 25 ft should be less than 26 feet because Centaur is really in this league. Obviously table is wrong at the moment. [DJ]
Tim has added facility for embedded files anmd external links. Can we now upload files? also does any one know what we need to do to establish CSS stylesheets [DJ]

suggestions for pages
Bob said to me "I think that a short piece on Robinetta could be appropriate to the wiki in an historical context as it reflects the evolution of Rayner's thinking leading to the creation of Westerly." How about a page called "Before Westerly" that covers Robinetta, the Corvette and Westcoaster? We need to come up with a structure for the front page that allows this, and other historical pages to be linked. Julian 22:08, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
