[wp-docs] New volunteer

Matt:

Well, with Carthik gone for the next six weeks, can I make the request 
an official one?

Please change the CSS so that the use of the tag <code> will NOT have 
the blue background. It makes it difficult to read and clutters up the 
whole look of the pages. The Codex Volunteers have worked very hard to 
keep these pages not looking "wiki-like" but clean and professional.

Since the change has been made on something like 90%+ of the pages, 
please do a MySQL UPDATE to search and replace the incidences of <tt> 
and </tt> with <code> and </code>.  I have found nothing to indicate 
that the TeleType or <tt> is deprecated, so it is still viable for use 
within paragraphs.

While <pre><code> may be okay in your book, it is redundant and nothing 
validates with <pre><code>blah blah</pre></code> and that is what is 
finally being cleaned up by close attention by the volunteers working on 
general uses of code.

There are also consistent validation errors in the sidebar with a class 
ID being used twice in the sidebar |<div class="portlet" id="*p*-tb"> 
and in the ads. We may not be able to help the advertisers lazy ways, 
but we need to fix our own.

While in the Codex CSS, would you please also add a class for the FAQs 
TOCs. By default, all TOCs float to the right and in this particulat 
case, we need them to NOT float and sit on the left margin. This class 
may serve useful with a few other page structures begin considered for 
the future.

These and others are on your Codex To Do list, per your request at 
http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Matt/codex_todo, as a reminder.

There is also a lot of requests on the 
http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:State_of_Codex page which is now being 
reviewed and added to by the documentation team.

Thanks,

Lorelle
