@arihantar @collen @kushalpandya @jamedjo i just pushed the first part that I have written on this. I would love some feedback on it
It covers london, india and part of cambodia. It has no images yet and is very much a draft still :)
I aim to get it online next week with a final version which covers everything and is prood read by multiple people.

@marcia @stanhu @axil I created a custom design for this blogpost by making use of some extra css and a small bit of js. This design enhances the content and makes it more readable. Plus it acts as a nice pilot experiment into improving the default blogpost style (as the css can easily be applied to all future normal non release blogposts).
Note: I edited the date to the 20 of June. I would like it to be released by then

@stanhu I mention China and its firewall in the blogpost and handbook section I created in this MR ;) See if that's oke!

To whom can I assign Tuesday to merge? along with some tweet @marcia ? :)

- e04a0d61 - made .vista classed images a little bit more powerfull by giving them a higher z-index

thanks @stanhu
I didn't actually click on any of the image links, but was happy to see more photos in this merge request. I wonder if photos should either be included inline or not at all?
Can you elaborate? I think I found a good balance :)
How do you feel about releasing this Tuesday?
Can you elaborate? I think I found a good balance :)
I just noticed that when I read the post for the first time, I didn't have a strong inclination to click on the extra links, perhaps because the photos in the post drew my attention already.
How do you feel about releasing this Tuesday?
@marcia can make that call.
