We have a Web design team and a Java development team on our project. We're using Wicket for our pages.
I know Wicket was designed to make it easy for designers and developers to work together, but we're actually finding the opposite -- it's difficult to communicate changes back and forth. We're finding that the developers increasingly have their own code tree, and the designers their own. As a result, for every major change, someone has to "translate" the designer's change into the actual HTML that the developers are using, which is not the same. The developers sometimes break pages into subpages/Panels which doesn't get communicated back to the designers, who are still working with their own complete pages. Should designers be actually involved in Panel restructuring? If so, how can they work with sub-pages? Should they use an Include tag? If they need to demo or test something, should they actually run the real app on the server, rather than work with their own set of HTML files? Should they check their files into the "real" folders, or their "sandbox" template folders? The main issue has been Panels, but there are also some other tweaks the developers are making to "make it work" while the designers aren't aware and are working in their own sandbox. Just wondering, what's the best practice, the way things are supposed to work in Wicket? -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/The-best-way-for-designers-and-Wicket-developers-to-collaborate-tp4656560.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
