+----
+
+Is it still Joey's opinion that ikiwiki.info should remain using the anti-theme?
+
+I'd like to make one last, clear petition to move ikiwiki.info to using the actiontabs
+theme. Rationale below.
+
+I wanted to just ask one last time if that was still the case. I've been considering
+picking back up my ikiwiki hacking efforts, as well as thinking about my personal use
+of ikiwiki, and I was privately pondering on the health of the project. IMHO, it's not
+great unfortunately, and we could use more contributors. I feel that the anti-theme on
+ikiwiki.info is putting off potential users and thus potential contributors. The
+actiontabs theme would be a better "advert" for ikiwiki: a better demonstration of what
+you *could* do with it, and I think that's an important function of the site. I think
+people might come across ikiwiki.info whilst looking for basic information on the project
+and be put off by the anti-theme.
+
+Honestly, I also find it hard to read information on the site due to the anti-theme (yes,
+the default font face and size etc. are my own brower's preferences, but I sometimes use
+browsers on other machines that I have not configured), including the wide (lack of)
+content margins, and prefer to interact with it (generally) using local clones.
+(I've just made *this* edit this way, but actually because the login process via email
+seems to be broken for edit/preview workflow. I might investigate/file about that later.)
+
+I wonder if someone feels the same, since you defaulted to actiontabs on branchable.
+
+Thanks, [[users/Jon]]. (PS: Every log in method failed for me with Firefox Quantum
+trying to post this. Untrusted git push also failed.)
