Hi Satoru.

we still got the oS Weekly News misformatted, e.g.:

http://news.opensuse.org/2011/07/10/opensuse-weekly-news-issue-183-is-out/

which looks quite ugly. First of all I would like to know if anyone is
working on that? What is the reason that the layout breaks on the own?
The rest of the posts look fine, so far.

It would be great to get this fixed. If it's a simple CSS issue, I guess
I could help.

It would be a long story, if I explain the background why current HTML
version of OWN doesn't look good, but in short:

OWN are now primarily edited in DocBook/XML format and then converted to
HTML and PDF files. The reason why the look of HTML of OWN isn't good
may be that the script for generating HTML file from XML source isn't
well polished yet and need to be improved, but ATM there isn't an expert
at that in OWN team.

And about issue #183 - Sascha had an network trouble last weekend and
couldn't edit it so that I edited almost every part on behalf of him,
but I'm not good at editing XML files and haven't well understood the
mechanism of DocBook yet. Our options were, giving up publishing the
issue or publishing it even if the look isn't good enough. And our
choice was the latter because we thought 'it's always better than nothing'.

If you don't like the result, your help for improving OWN will be always
welcome. Please take a look at XML sources for OWN on BerliOS site first.

I have checked again and noticed that the the stylesheet is missing:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="susebooks.css" /><meta
name="generator" content="DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.76.1-RC1"
/></head><body>

I would suggest to place it in:

news.opensuse.org/wp-content/themes/bento/

and modify the referral pointing to it.
