• Can CSS based HTML pages be created quickly and effectively?
• seems like there are usually CSS issues to deal with especially across browsers.
  • how much of a win would it be to support only firefox?
    • one browser would cut test matrix
• firebug provides CSS editor
• IE 9 Beta (Developer Mode) has similar feature as firebug
• Thoughtworks does "developer box test"
  • dev sits with QA and business analyst before saying area is done to catch issues while developer is still working on it.
• possible stumbling block has been long reloading time for FTL pages in eclipse
  • establish a standard way to have fast turnaround for FTL page development
• can we get better practice in place for how to lay out html pages
  • can we leverage what was done in questionaire area and repeat that
  • is there a HTML/CSS/JS/UI guru we could get access to?
• can we document the process for constructing good HTML/CSS?
• idea of creating FTL widgets (probably macro based) that can be reused on all pages
  • do a spike to create these widgets
