Slashdot Gets CSS : Beta Test Slashcode

Slashdot is planning to implement cascadingstyle sheet (CSS) and get a html redesign for a new look. And they need your help to beta test it.

A post at Slashdot says
“After almost 8 years, Slashdot’s HTML is finally getting an overhaul. For now the changes are almost entirely under the hood, as we migrate the current skin to CSS. Slashdot itself will migrate in the next few weeks, but for now, we’d appreciate it if people who understand CSS could take a look at Slashcode. If you use a browser that lets you select a stylesheet, you can take a look at that site with the Slashdot CSS Skin. Keep in mind that Slashcode doesn’t look exactly like Slashdot, so there will be some differences between that site, and the final version that will appear on Slashdot. We’re mainly looking for feedback on compatibility issues and blatant bugs.”

You can activate the Slashdot stylesheet on Slashcode.com in Firefox by choosing View > Page Style > Slashdot. You can use the SF bug tracker to submit bug reports – the sourceforge project is named Slash and defined as “a database-driven web application server, using Perl, Apache and MySQL. It is the code that runs Slashdot.” Now is the chance for web designers to show their skills at html and css.
