Thanks Chris -- it's really looking good.

Yes, I agree -- I think we're about at the point where we need to  
start ticketing things to keep track.  You + Phil/Rollie can use the  
wiki page as an overall guide, but we'll definitely want to start  
using trac more for tech issues and refinements.   We can use the  
original Woonerf 1 milestone in the LS trac.

Re: strategy for beginning work on LS -- I would like it if we could  
just apply the new wrapper by Friday (interior content should more or  
less fall in line w/ opencore.css), so that we begin to get a sense of  
how things will connect when we redeploy.  CCing the streets-dev list  
about that, to make sure that everything is good to go for a redeploy  
of stage.livablestreets.com, stage.streetsblog.org, and  
stage.streetfilms.org on Friday, as per the calendar.

Good point -- what we were doing in the past is directly referencing  
the streetsblog CSS, which is brittle and sometimes confusing.  Dev  
guys?

Awesome!  Thanks Chris -- I'm sure this will come in really handy, and  
it was one of the things that Rollie and I were most excited about  
when we hired you :)
