Inputs & Thoughts

• 20090923-MarioLipinski

• * Add Intermediate colors to be used for web design or graphic elements
  * Discuss how links in (print style) documents should look
  * provide a complete template set for adequate (Open Source) Software for documents (e.g. Scribus for professional printing, OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office for presentations and simple text documents, Photoshop (and maybe Gimp) for web design)

• There still exists a styleguide (https://svn.cacert.org/CAcert/PR/CAcert_Styleguide.pdf Version 0.4 – October 2007) but this has to read as a WIP or as a proposal. On my research thru the archives I did not find any motions, nor decisions so far that brings this document to at least DRAFT state to make this "official" or reading in policies bring this to "binding".
  
  Maybe its backed up by the IPR (usage of logo), but also for this topic I didn't found the source.
  
  So in essence, this styleguide has to be read as a commendation, but not as binding.
