v0.1 (partial) for a first look at the format: PDF / WORD

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look and tell me how to make it look better.

... Grr. The Hebrew "Chanuka" on the cover is reversed. I know how to fix it.
There's supposed to be a footnote on Day 1 p 1, but it disappeared in my messing with the header.
I think I'll reduce the font size of the header text.

Looks nice!
On the credits page, i don't think you should use the 8th day logo, but just the ordinary one
And the credits is all about Purim. :)
@Scimonster Yeah, the content there is TBD.
@Scimonster The MY tree?
I think I agree. Keep the special logos reserved for the 8 content pages
@IsaacMoses the ordinary MY logo, like on the intro
@Scimonster ... or just leave the logo off of the header of the Intro and Credits?
@IsaacMoses I think it would look weird to have it not be uniform
@Scimonster That was my impulse for throwing it in, but OTOH, the 8 16 pages in the middle are special
... and I'm going to try to make each of those 8 leaves stand on its own as a flyer, if possible.
16:41
@IsaacMoses What do you mean?
@Scimonster I want people to be able to, e.g., print out just the two sides of Day 2 and give it to all their friends on Day 2, and have it stand on its own as a printed work, though with reference to the larger work ("more at s.tk/miyodeya"). Oh, yeah, I'd like to reflect that in the Intro, too.
@IsaacMoses Ooh, that's a nice idea.

@IsaacMoses I agree with that. Begin and end with the real one, do the special ones on the eight days only. (And we'll see who (a) notices and (b) tells us. :-) )
@IsaacMoses I like the "more at s.tk/miyodeya" on each page.
@IsaacMoses I like the layout. I was going to ask about the footnotes but I saw your comment here.
18:27
@MonicaCellio Thanks for the feedback. Note that I implemented this, so that your efforts will bear fruit!
18:42
@IsaacMoses Should SE be capitalized?
18:59
@Scimonster Maybe. As it stands, it's exactly what's on the bottom of our site
@IsaacMoses I realize that.

Q: Should Stack Exchange be capitalized in the copyright?

ScimonsterIn the footer of every SE site, it says site design / logo © 2014 stack exchange inc; user contributions licensed under cc by-sa 3.0 with attribution required Should "stack exchange" there be capitalized?

@MonicaCellio Sorry I'm so late. I just logged in and saw your ping from Oct. 27. WAF's logo looks really great though. Hopefully I can help out in the future.
19:14
@zaq You can help out right now! If you have a minute, please cast your eye upon this layout and point out any areas for improvement.

Just a couple notes. Chanuka - Mi Yodeya: Day 1
more at s.tk/miyodeya
oops. didn't mean to send yet. I've never used the chat before
- I think the header "Chanuka - Mi Yodeya
more at s.tk/miyodeya" looks a bit obtrusive and the header would look cleaner without it. Maybe the url could be a footer or go somewhere else, but the header "Chanuka - Mi Yodeya: Day 1" is unnecessary since the page title already says it.
- I think this has already been pointed out, but Page 5 and 6 both reference Purim and should say Chanukah
- I don't think the logo should appear on page 3 since the page breaks mid-answer . It visually breaks the answer as you go to the next page. However, if you want the logo to appear on every page, I would put a couple of blank lines before page 3 begins "The Mishna Brurah writes.." to separate it from the header a bit.
- ב'ה should appear on all the pages, or none of them. Seems odd to not include it on the cover and last page.

@zaq Thanks!

@zaq thanks for stopping in, and welcome to chat! Thanks also for looking over the doc.
@IsaacMoses @zaq what if the graphic (the modified logo) only appeared on pages that start "sections"? (Intro, first page of each day, credits.) Would that flow better?
21:48
@MonicaCellio @zaq Hmm. I could put the graphic on side 1 and the textual header on side 2, reprising the big header on side 1 and pointing out the URL
I'm toying with the idea of adding graphics to the days that have room to spare. For example, Day 1 currently has some room to spare, so I might put in, alongside the question text, a picture of a Kislev calendar with 25 circled.
@IsaacMoses I was going to add the pictures from hebrewbooks to day 8.
In the morning i guess.
@Scimonster I'll probably be doing more cramming work tonight (EST). If you have pics you want me to try to include, please drop em when you got em. I might still be awake when you get up in the morning.
@IsaacMoses I kinda doubt it. I have not been getting up on time...
Especially considering that i'm still up at midnight.
I would go to bed, but i'm answering a bounty on SO. :)
OK done. Good night! (TZT)
