E-Blah Template Editor

CLOSED TASK: Documentation

tylermenezes — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:54:06 GMT

Need to write a documentation file. This should probably take the form of a User Guide/Manual. It would be preferred if a non-developer could write this documentation, as the developers may say things in ways incomprehensible by regular computer users.

COMMENTED TASK: Logo Needed

tylermenezes — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:30:26 GMT

We need a proper logo for the E-Blah template editor. If anyone has experience with logo design and is willing to help, or just wants to give it a shot, please do!

The logo I made was designed in less than 5 minutes, and we do want the project to look nice :P
Comments: ** Comment from web user: tylermenezes **

Yeah, looks interesting. Maybe we could do something based on this, specifically I was thinking of doing some sort of animated version. The only downside I think of is the animation could get annoying really quickly.
