[Scummvm-devel] Uniformizing our webpages a bit?

Hi folks, (esp. Fredrik ;)

Right now we have a ton of different websites which are not integrated  
at all. They look quite different from each other, too, look for  
yourself:

http://www.scummvm.org/
http://wiki.scummvm.org/
http://forums.scummvm.org/
http://buildbot.scummvm.org/
http://planet.scummvm.org/
http://doxygen.scummvm.org/

Now I feel that it would be kinda nice if they at least had a somewhat  
uniform appearance. The main website and the forums are fine so far.  
But what about the others? It seems to me that at least for buildbot &  
doxygen, it should be trivial to touch them up a little to make them  
fit in better with our primary website. Also, the planet uses a rather  
crude (no offense!) imitation of the looks of our primary website;  
would be cool if that could be made to resemble the main website more  
closely. Finally, adjusting the Wiki might be hardest (as you'd have  
to turn any changes into a full MediaWiki theme), but maybe also the  
most rewarding one...

Any people interested in helping out with one or several of these? You  
only need to know some HTML and CSS, I'll be happy to point you to the  
relevant files etc. I guess for this it would be best to start by  
extracting some common CSS rules from the primary website and putting  
those into a separate CSS file, which then could be shared between all  
sites, to ensure uniformity. Of course each site might have its own  
physical copy of that file, for various reasons, but they'd be  
identical copies, and anyway this is a minor detail ;).


Cheers,
Max
