Mollio for Etomite CMS version 1.1

What is Mollio?

Mollio is a simple set of html/css templates. The aim was to create a set of page templates that use css for layout as well as some sample basic content which has also had some css applied. It's definitely a work in progress. More sample content and layouts are planned to be added. Get involved, suggest & contribute ideas via the Mollio Google Group. You should also check out the Mollio web site at www.mollio.org.

So enough of the chit chat, what are you talking about?

What about the Photoshop source files?

We've used Adobe Photoshop CS2 to create the images used by the Mollio templates - so you may or may not need that version to open these...

Can I use it on my own project?

Our hope is to make Mollio templates and their derivatives as universal as possible. In order to help those creating derivative works of Mollio we've agreed to release the templates under three different licenses; Creative Commons, GPL and CPL. As a creator of a derivative work you simply need to choose the license that suits your project.

If you have no idea about licensing or want to know nothing about licensing then you are after the Creative Commons license. Essentially you can do what you like as long as you keep the attribution in the HTML - basically a link to Mollio saying where it all began.

Who made Mollio?

Pete Ottery (pottery at daemon dot com dot au), Creative Director from a Web Development company in Sydney called Daemon.

Why?

Daemon built an open source CMS called FarCry, and Pete created this skin to use as a default install skin when creating a site. We figured the html/css would be helpful to use in its own right, so even if you are not using FarCry you might find it useful.

Is there any support or help provided?

There's a very basic styleguide linked above which details how the page templates are structured. Beyond that, join the Mollio Google Group & ask questions.

Support for Mollio for Etomite CMS may be available via the Etomite Forums. Try in the "Snippet and Templates" section under the "Completed Templates".
