And also acceptance of new designs closed.

I had some ideas but did not find the time to make them into  
something solid but perhaps some other time with some other project.

Thanks to those who did make time for this one.

As much as I don’t like some other things this person said every  
designer should print out his in huge letters and stick to some free  
surface above their desk 😉

Just wondering.

To answer your questions:

[http://pledgie.com/campaigns/4435](http://pledgie.com/campaigns/4435)

Read the points of consideration:

Before any designer do the mock up, they need to consider:

1. Once design is approved, both hompages and inner page needs to be  
completed as valid HTML+CSS

2. Cross browser (yeah, IE, I’m talking about that beast) needs to be  
considered as supported.

3. Designer could have experience integrating this with Radiant and  
provide advice, but is not mandatory.

4. Full pledgie money is going to be paid when HTML and CSS elements  
are handed over to RubyInstaller project team, in public, using a Git  
repository.

5. Credits and copyright of the design will remains in the design  
owner, but he must give authorization for usage in [rubyinstaller.org](http://rubyinstaller.org).
