[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Integrate Font-Awesome in XE
Hi devs. I propose you to integrate Font Awesome [1] in XE, in order to be used by Flamingo. I need this because glyphicons (which is distributed with bootstrap) is not enough for our needs [2]. Some alternatives have also been listed [2]. FYI, I have also started a mapping between silk icons and Font Awesome icons [3]. You can also take a look to the licence [4], which seems to be LGPL compatible. Here is my +1. Thanks, Guillaume [1] http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ [2] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBarIcons [3] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IconSet [4] http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL
+1. Glyphicons is a weird licensing that we can use only because we use Bootstrap. -- Jean On jeu., 2014-07-31 at 17:17 +0200, Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau wrote:

+1. One issue I've had with it is that when upgrading between major versions, some icons might be missing or might be renamed. If we want to ensure backwards compatibility for our users, how do we handle that?

Sergiu, We won't use the icon directly but through http://markmail.org/message/yds34c66bygjzvz6 . So, we can handle the retro-compatibility with the mapping. Thanks, Guillaume 2014-07-31 19:50 GMT+02:00 Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]>:
