History: Bootstrap Transition Preps
Preview of version: 13
As part Theme Revamp, this page is to discuss, and plan an eventual transition to using Bootstrap in Tiki. As there is a general consensus we should move in the general Bootstrap direction (and be able to use Bootstrap themes), the remaining questions are no longer "if" but more "how" and "when"
An experimental branch is here: http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/HEAD/tree//branches/experimental/redesign-proof-of-concept/
Questions
- Where will we coordinate work?
- I think on themes.tiki.org
- Bootstrap 2 and later 3, or directly to Bootstrap 3?
- There are several non backward-compatible changes
- What about LTS handling?
- Option 1: start revamp after Tiki12 LTS
- Option 2: start after 11.0 and try to finish for Tiki12
- If Tiki12 isn't stable enough for a release on schedule, either
- Option 2a) Retroactively identify Tiki11 as LTS
- Option 2b) Identify Tiki13 as LTS
- If Tiki12 isn't stable enough for a release on schedule, either
- Do we try to support Foundation as well?
Evolution or revolution?
Do we go for a clean break / "burn all bridges" approach and force major changes on all legacy themes? or do we make an effort to try to make old themes still work?
Arguments for clean break
- End result will be simpler code
- End result will be closer to what people already know (people that use Bootstrap that is)
- Most theme intense sites have more than enough features in the LTS versions and can use that until they decide to refresh their site design.
Arguments for legacy support
- Makes it easier for heavily customized themes to upgrade
Things to watch out for
Things that Bootstrap doesn't cover
- Logo?
- Let's use http://schema.org/ when possible
Things that Bootstrap overlaps with existing components
- jQueryUI
- jQuery Mobile
Pre-requisites
- Revamp menu system
In general
- This is a lot of work
In version 3.0
- No set release date, but probably sometime in 2013
- Many changes in class names
- Dropping submenu support
