[maemo-community] Community Page (and responding to Neils)

[From: Tim]

Hmmm... Personally, I would code it so that every image on Planet fit
into a certain dimension parameter (150px X 150px or something). Then,
the page would always look consistent. On other page, I would always
add images as clickable thumbnails so that people could view the
larger image if need be. But... That's just me.

It seems like images should be adjusted for thre page parameters, not
the page altered for the image parameters.

Hi Tmi,

The fluid wrapping works only for text. Sometimes we need to have
larger
images in documentation or we have a blog post with a larger image on
the
planet page. Now we hack around it by forcing the first item on the
page
to a smaller size.

Also, we sometimes need to include from external applications, so we
only
wrap the page header and footer around it. It would be nice if the
content
then would fill the body and not leave an empty sidebar.
