Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Use Junco Skin for xwiki.org

Hi devs, For the past weeks I've been working on a skin based on Bootstrap[1]. You can read more about it and test the new Junco Skin at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Junco+Skin This proposal is about using the Junco Skin (Blueberry Theme<http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Junco+Skin#HT…) for xwiki.org. I prepared some responsive screenshots for the xwiki.org Homepage and an Extension page. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgJuncoHomep… This is my +1 Please report any issues on https://github.com/evalica/bootswatch/issues __Advantages__ - a change is always welcomed, shows the users there is activity on the website; - the skin is responsive; - by using Bootstrap we have the whole framework's power to use (grids, components, etc.); - we have the chance to test a bit the skin in production and see the possible bugs, in order to later integrate; - IMO the skin looks nice :) __Disadvantages__ - the only disadvantage is that there will be bugs and they will take some time to be detected and fixed; __Platform integration problems__ 1. currently the new skin uses the HTML5 doctype. This is needed if we were to use some Bootstrap JS components (carousel, menus, etc.) - which we currently don't on xwiki.org, so I could use the old doctype (but lose some of the testing purpose). Because of the HTML5 doctype, the HTML validation fails. See http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7552 2. Junco Skin currently doesn't have support for changing the ColorThemes on the fly. I would need the help of a developer to fix this problem. Is not so much a problem for xwiki.org (I could fix them by duplicating some code in the xwiki.org skin), but it is a problem for the integration. 3. Being build on Bootstrap, it needs LESS to compile the files into CSS. Again I would need a developer to see how we could integrate the building of the themes in platform. Right now this is done locally, partially manual by using Grunt. Tell me what you think and take some time to test the skin, Caty [1] http://getbootstrap.com/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
