Well, poop. :)
Will you be around on Thursday at some time to meet on IRC with schumaml
and anyone else that wants to come?

By the way - anyone that would like to join us, please do on
irc.freenode.net #gimp-web

I am tentatively thinking 1900UTC to meet - does that work ok for everyone?

Of course I'll have a look!  I'm hoping there might be a nice compromise.
I'm rather fond of the lighter weight, but at the same time don't want to
content to be hard to read.

I did at least try to follow the W3C web content accessibility guidelines
for contrast ratio (that light body text is actually 4.48:1 ratio, the
guidelines for text that size is actually to be at least 3!  Also - there's
a W3C accessibility guideline for contrast ratio! :) ).

I'll render out some options later and see if we can't make it a bit more
legible.

Absolutely, I'll check against the entire site when we find one we like.
The news items have a (slightly) different color at the moment as well, I
believe.  I was trying to use color to differentiate secondary information
from that area, but may have gone too far. :)
