Hi

I have made a start of getting the publish page sorted
(*only* a start):

  https://dev2.indymedia.org.uk/dev2/servlet/OpenMir

Basically all that has been changed so far is:

1. The Publishing Form <h2> has been moved above the
   Number of Media Items fieldset.

2. Fieldsets have been added (the boxes around sections of
   the form) for accessibility and clarity.

3. Topic descriptions have been added as title attributes
   so that they appear when you mouse over topic names.

4. Author and Description have been moved up into a
   metadata fieldset with the Title field (metadata was
   the best name I could think of, it's not ideal...) at
   the top of the form.

5. The language select list has been hidden since there
   was only one option to select...

6. The two textareas have been made narrower (they should
   really be set to 100% in CSS... this is something for
   another day).

Also I haven't started on the suggestions on the wiki
pages (though these pages are somewhat out of date
now...):

  http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/UkPublishPage
  http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/PublishRedesign

If people are happy with these changes as an interim step
in the right direction then they can be deployed... 

Chris
