1) the video module doesn't create two nodes, that was me. fixed!
2) the front page now selects one article which has the 'promoted to
front page' set to true (if one exists) and one video which has the
'promoted to front page' set to true. i think this should meet our needs.
3) rather than tracking issues through email, we can also use the
issue tracker on our site: http://beta.theosdf.org/?q=issues

It's cool, leave it up. I'll just change the CSS. It's minor
enough and it looks like a known bug. Good job so far BTW, and
thanks for all the work.

The video module seems to create two nodes, one for the video and
another for the video's description. However, the description
won't be necessary (for now) because the actual video shown will
be something produced specifically for the OSDF, and will likely
stay up for some time. Any context it needs will be elsewhere on
the that static front page.
The featured post that appears can't always just be the newest one
(although sometimes we may want it to be). Since the landing page
planned is a static front page, it needs to be content we
specifically want up there irrespective of the blog/news items. I
realize this defies the typical drupal arrangement. Let me know if
you'd like me to clarify further.
Right now, the primary track we should be on is modifying this
theme's appearance. We want to do something that approaches the
one I showed earlier (although it doesn't have to look EXACTLY
like that). That layout (header with links on top, split
text/media area, split footer) is what was decided upon.

Keep rocking! We're finally getting somewhere.

also the front page (and only the front page) has a featured
video section (that could use some CSS edits - but only
someone with FTP access can make these), and only the latest
published article (along with a pager to see other articles).

we now have support for video objects:
http://beta.theosdf.org/?q=node/11
note we are not just using a youtube <embed /> tag in the
free-text portion of an article / blog post / etc. - this is a
dedicated content type with a video field. this gives us
significant power to list and filter content, and to manage the
display of video elements globally. (if we used embed tags, we
would have none of these abilities.)
to add a video, go to 'Add Content' > 'Video'.

Hello all,
We have Drupal set up with a theme over at
http://beta.theosdf.org.
Unless there are major objections, this is the base theme
we're going to hack to get what we want. The very first
step
here is to get this puppy ready for public consumption.
This
will require specifically 3 things:
* A front landing page
o will have a space for a featured video
o will host the latest or a featured blog
post/article
* A blog-listing (index) page. This is currently what
we see
as the
front page.
o until further notice comments will be disabled
* A regular template for static pages
Number 3 is the simplest one.
Keep in mind that we're taking the minimalist approach with
the look-and-feel of the site. I've attached a quick
draft of
the new logo. The accent color is #2eb4fd.
So we don't run into issues, I put the code at
https://code.launchpad.net/~daimoneze/osdf/drupal7-theme
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Edaimoneze/osdf/drupal7-theme>
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Edaimoneze/osdf/drupal7-theme>.
We should be using some kind of version control for several
good reasons. I'd prefer bazaar, but I'm open to others if
people prefer. See
http://wiki.theosdf.org/index.php?title=Contributing_Code. I
recommend setting up a simple local webserver to help
developing. If you aren't sure how to do this I would
be happy
to help you.
Happy hacking!
-Toast
