Hi Jeremie,
The Mail Archive app is considered by me in order to get a redesign, the
only problem is that it is the last in my list :) see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/CollaborativeApplicationsso
it might take a long time for me to reach to it, but since you said
the
UI could be similar to Forum it is a great news.
Well no problem, anyway it would be good for me to finalize the app before
thinking about improving the UI design...
Many of your questions I've also asked in this mail thread
http://markmail.org/thread/xekbxdygi3wrcoui and in this page
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ApplicationPresentation
Would be great if you could read my thoughts and maybe give your opinion
about them.
I did, but given the lengthy answer, you may regret that I did ! ;-)
I don't have a final solution for our problems and
the
community should pick a strategy, or at least discuss about it :)
Thanks,
Caty

Hello,
I was having a look at the proposal for Forum app design with Flamingo
[1][2], and I thought it could be good to start thinking about the same
for
the Mail Archive app. Yes, I'm still working
on this btw :)
Would it be possible for me to re-use some graphical elements from this
proposal ? (buttons icons, the grey icons around the boxes corners, this
sort of thing). Would it be possible to somehow get close to this design
even without Flamingo skin (so with colibri), as flamingo is still not a
final skin ?
Also I remember there were some discussions about it, but how should one
proceed, keep the same app and maintain both colibri/flamingo look with
distinct css (and how to switch between both ? detect the current skin of
the wiki ?). Or just make a "flamingo" version that would not look too
bad
with colibri ? Would the ColorTheme variables
still be available for a
parsed ssx ?
To be honest I like the proposal (and a forum app UI is the closest you
could get to a mail archive app UI), except maybe for the topics / topics
answers, if there's a large number of answers (occurs often with a mail
thread), maybe it's not enough compact / paginated. In my most crazy
dreams, the forum app and the mail archive app could share the same UI
with
small variants, but fed with different objects /
data sources - seems
very
nice idea, but would be quite complex to
achieve.
I'm just trying to prepare myself only, because I will not work on this
yet
- I'm currently bugfixing and finishing some
UIs. Maybe I should wait for
the 6.x cycle (and flamingo) to be more mature.
Thanks & regards,
Jeremie
