[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Responsive Skin

Hi Jonathan, everybody, As you may know the "Responsive Skin" project has been accepted for the GSoC 2012. I will be mentoring the project, together with Ecaterina and everyone that wants to get involved. Jonathan Solichin is the student who will realize the project. Jonathan, I'd like you start telling us about your plans and an expected timeline proposal for the realization of the project. Then the next step is to create a page on the design page in the development wiki [1] and start the work here. I'll lay here some of my thoughts on the project, and what I personally consider conditions for success (for the moment) : * I'd like we start with a phase of "paper" design (I mean with gimp or photoshop or whatever tool to produce images). * I think we should limit the feature set of the skin ; not trying to do everything right away (there are potentially a lot of features to work on, from livetables to data editors, to applications, etc.) * For a start, focus should be given on content and navigation. With a mobile-first approach, expanding up to large-screens desktop. * I think it's OK to have semantic break points (like "phone", "tablet", etc.) as long as the skin is actually responsive and adapt to whatever real estate is available. We should be able to "drag the corner" of a browser window and have the skin display well at all sizes. Of course all those points are open for discussion, those are just my views on the topic. Feedback from the community welcomed. Jonathan, looking forward hearing from you, Cheers, Jerome [1] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WebHome
