Hello friends,
First thank you for the inputs.
About the tentative time-line, please confront each
step with a date.
I'm not sure whether it was unclear or not, but the numbers represents the
weeks of GSOC and are not arbritrary. Unless you want the exact date, then
I can go ahead and revise it again. I also appended to the beginning: a
design exploration stage as per your request. [1]
About the mock-ups, personally I would prefer we make
it a complete

Thank you. Right, ok so I wasn't sure how much creativity i am allowed with
the skin and that's why my first mock up is pretty close to colibri. I
created a second mock up of a more "brave" skin. desktop [2], mobile [3],
What does the community think? wrong or right direction?
I would love to see some fresh ideas of how the
responsive skin would look
like.
Jonathan should provide some a timeline in order to see how expensive this
phase would be.
Ok so at the moment, I am aiming for a week of design exploration. But to
be honest, I have never worked on a project like this, or created a time
line. If someone could comment on my timeline [1] as to whether it is
totally skewed or just about right, that would be great.
Please also take a look at other ideas/layouts for the mobile skin
This is a great resource. I will definitely look into this more deeply.
Thank you!
On a non Responsive Skin topic, is there a place where I can read/reply to
the mailing list, beside email, that is more dedicated (like how google
groups have an online "viewer")? Like the way links are delineated at the
bottom as footnotes, does everyone do that manually, or is there a
dedicated place that does this for you? It is a little bit confusing to
read emails with multi-level quotes. Or maybe I am just not used to it.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Jonathan Solichin
