Hi everyone, I'm just trying to wrap up the discussion about the CSS framework recommendation for Infusion.
To summarize the following is the updated recommendation based on earlier discussions: - CSS framework is not recommended for Fluid components at this time primarily due to the lack of custom name spacing. Without proper name spacing, there is a chance that there will be classname collisions which will make it difficult to integrate Fluid components. - CSS framework is fine to be used for websites, demos, and other integration / non-component scenarios. - Zurb Foundation is the suggested framework to be used. - Continue using default styles in Fluid components and leave it to the integrator to customize with their own CSS framework if they choose to. - There may be an opportunity to add new features to Learner Preferences that can transform CSS framework components (like navigation bars and button links). Further discussion is encouraged. - We will not create contrast themes for CSS frameworks. Creating a theme is non-trivial (lots of values to adapt) and s high maintenance (each major or minor release will need to be tested - occurs roughly once a month). - Contrast theme generation using a CSS pre-processor to be investigated. Possible pre-processors include: Less, SASS, and Stylus. This will be a separate discussion. For additional details, please refer to this document on the Fluid wiki: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Fluid+Project+Support+for+CSS+Frameworks We have already adopted some of these recommendations internally (i.e for the FLOE Metadata Authoring demo<http://metadata.floeproject.org/demos/html/index.html>), and we would like to formalize this going forward. Please chime in. - Jon. -- *JONATHAN HUNG* INCLUSIVE DESIGNER, IDRC *T:* 416 977 6000 x3951 *F:* 416 977 9844 *E:* [email protected] *OCAD UNIVERSITY* Inclusive Design Research Centre 205 Richmond Street W, Toronto, ON, M5V 1V3 www.ocadu.ca www.idrc.ocad.ca
