It is "XHTML 1.0 Strict", not "HTML 4.01 Strict".

If you want, and have time, you could take a look at the conclusion section 
of "Beware of XHTML" [1] and let this email list know if you think that 
conclusion is right:
  [1] http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml#conclusion

I personally agree with such conclusion. IMHO the GNU Herds project should 
use "HTML 4.01 Strict". 

At http://gnuherds.org/sameer/ you can see your work converted to "HTML 4.01 
Strict".  I have just modified the index.php file, which I attach. Just 10 
lines modified. See the attached index.php diff.

No problem. We work as time allows us.

I hope finish soon the work with the skills management page, etc. to be able 
to begin to contribute to this task too :)  We can work as a team.

Good idea!

I have created http://gnuherds.org/sameer/ just to show the "HTML 4.01 Strict" 
version.

IMHO, when the log-in box CSS and the logo.div be ready we must begin to merge 
the new presentation design with the current gnuherds.org webapp:
  1. checking that it works and
  2. committing it to Git

Anyhow, if it is required we can begin the merger even sooner, due to your 
work is of great quality!

Sure.

OK.

The project must be always open to discuss this and any other subject. So, 
anybody is free to propose new logos.

Your work rocks Sameer!
