well reea.net did some mockups for free and maybe we can spare some
people from the team to finish the html/css , after that maybe it
needs to be applied to the actual site I started to play with
greasemonkey on the actual site but we need some signs from fundation
too that will be implemented

I need to talk to my boss so this should be done in the working hours



related to cms
for the firebirdsql.ro we will move to drupal and we will finish the
port to it , who knows after that we can port worpress too :) that is
the plan to local firebird team from Romania

I guess we can apply the designs to an drupal cms with actual
structure and see how it works (we can do an demo for new firebird
site with css skins to choose from )
