I am working with the WorkHabit crew to improve the formatting on /hosting. The goal is to better segment hosting into a variety of categories.

.column-1{float:left;width:30%;}
.column-2{float:left;width:30%;padding-right:3%;}
.column-3{float:left;width:30%;}

This CSS will allow a 100 lines of hosting companies to be significantly shorter.

Neil had requested we get the new Drupal.org themers SVN working first before we made any more changes to the Drupal.org theme. SVN was confirmed to be working yesterday, so I am filing the request today.

Actually that should be...

.column-1{float:left;width:30%;padding-right:3%;}
.column-2{float:left;width:30%;padding-right:3%;}
.column-3{float:left;width:30%;}

I hate the non-semantic class names, but the current css is full of them anyway.

Bluebeach has a system for site-specific CSS, which groups is already using. Drupal.org should start using it for content-specific styles that we want to survive the redesign.

Please attach a new CSS file with these rules, with code style matching CSS files in Drupal core. .column-1 doesn't tell you how many columns are in that particular layout; either a container or longer class names should make it clear these are part of a 3-column layout.

I think the <ol> needs some CSS. The numbers do not mean anything and should be removed.

The OLs have already been changed to ULs -- bullets not numbers. Just waiting for the CSS changes to make those changes live.

I'm not sure we want these css changes to survive the redesign. The intent here is to be a temporary fix with the hope that the whole hosting page will get some love in the new design.

Attached is the CSS file and the HTML snippet that will need to be placed into the node body for /hosting. This HTML file is an update from the previous one and makes it easier to maintain the lists. No more need to manually balance the list across three columns. And less markup used overall, too.

I added a .txt extension to both files so that the attachment form would accept them.

We've since upgraded the theme to Drupal 6. If anyone has time to work on this help would be appreciated.

Amazon ... with the 960gs work I've been doing on the hosting node (http://scratch.drupal.org/node/21785/) can this issue be closed?
