About point 1: Tammy, we did not really get a chance to talk much about css during the meeting. I disagree with what is in the feature list (about stripping out css styles in files). It is very important that we allow a user to over ride styles and add their own. It is a way we can allow an enduser access to the layout of a page without giving him direct access to templates.

A recent example: I would have put the mockups I have been working on on the openacs site if I could have added and/or overridden styles.

Looking at http://www.csszengarden.com/ it is clear how far we could go if we figure out a good way to manage user contributed styes.

Just so it is clear: those mockups are based on work Lars started on acs-subsite as well as features already present in the CMS we already have. The work Lars did heavily relies on style sheets so configuration of the CMS UI should just be a question of associating various style sheets to site templates based on user preferences:
