Hi,
The best way will be open a issue and manage by sub task each step.
After that dev mailing list is good to sharing. Webconf and jabber are
interesting for dynamic and quick exchange but keep in mind to report
the talking result on the mailing or issue.
It's important for the follow-up :)

Hi Taher,
I think that we can use the OFBiz wiki to write the action plan and
tasks to do, etc.
I was thinking about regular webconf and we can be connected via
jabber.
But maybe ofbiz dev use other collaborative tools ?
Any suggestions ?
Regards,
Julien.

Hi Nicolas,
Great! I'm rubbing hands in excitement. What is the next action now?
open a JIRA, have a discussion on mailing list? Furthermore, such a
project requires a lot of collaboration. Do we have a platform or a
solution for easier collaboration on this project?
Regards,
Taher Alkhateeb

Subject: Re: Theme bootstrap
Hi all,
I updated the page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document,
Now the best way will be move the discussion on dev and set your
battle
line on jira ;)

Hi Gavin, Pierre, Florient and Taher,
It's a good news that you all join the team :)
Other thanks to Adrian for informations !
Maybe the first step could be to create a setting which allow to
switch from old management to the new one because it seems to be
hard
to change the framework without breaking old css themes.
Another important point is to define a mock-up for the basic
navigation and apply it for easiest navigation. This will be
helpful
to work with the other points.
Taher, I think that it's a big task because we can find several
types
of screens (widget, ftl, form, etc.) and many technologies very
helpful but maybe it's time to unify the main software UI.
Even if we keep all technologies that make the software
flexibility,
it's important to be coherent in standard UI.
So I suggest this following steps :
1 - Create themes switch
2 - Submit several mock-up for the basic navigation (ask community
feeling)
3 - Implement basic navigation
4 - Mock-up for standard to unify standard UI (ask community
feeling)
5 - Screen widgets
6 - Form Widgets
7 - Styling
I think point 2 and 4 could be running during working on the others
but we have to start to submit mock-ups to the community because
discussions could take a lot of time ;)

Hi Julien
I'd like to join the team. I've done some work with bootstrap,
albeit on
ecommerce and front-end sites. For backend apps I believe that the
task
should be approached systematically and that this could also be an
opportunity to bed down some ui design principles - which could
captured in
the wiki - as a page on its own. The wiki already contains
information on
widgets (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Understanding+the+OFBiz+Widget+Toolkit),
but nowhere does it recommend best practices for ui design. A
suggested
approach:
1. Start with screen widgets - the widget-screen.xsd will need to
be
revisited to align this with the Bootstrap CSS (grid-system
amongst
others);
2. Form widgets - revisit widget-form.xsd;
3. Menus and navigation - widget-menu.xsd;
4. Styling - customisation and theming.
What do you think?

Hi,
I'm working on a basic bootstrap theme for OFBiz.
My goal is that OFBiz project uses bootstrap standard classes to
work.
I encountered some issues that I've fixed. The problem is that I
change
the framework and if I want to share my work with the community,
it
could
be better to do it in the best way.
I know that it's a task in the roadmap, so I hope somebody is
already
working on or waiting for team mate :)
I'm actually focused on :
- Portlet-widget structure
- KeywordSearchform
- Multi-menu management
Who can help me on this topic ?
Thanks by advanced,
Julien.
