Common Stylesheet for apps that infrastructure writes
by Toshio Kuratomi
Hey all, mizmo and I talked about this a few years ago but neither of us had
time to really pursue it back then. The idea is that infrastructure writes
quite a few web applications. Those applications have many common elements.
If we defined classes and usage for those elements we'd get sevaral
benefits:
* Easier to theme and retheme our applications.
* Less chance of breaking things by changing global stylesheets because we
know what each element is supposed to do
* Application programmers have a more concrete idea of what elements they
are expected to provide and what those elements should contain.
I'm presently working on a new, small web application for infrastructure
using a new template language so it is a good opportunity to look at this
again. I've written out something here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Infra_Apps_Common_Stylesheet
that I've extracted from looking at fas, bodhi, pkgdb, elections, wiki and
fedoracommunity from a thousand foot view and then a closer look at how fas's
existing stylesheet implements things.
My goal here was to identify elements of the page, assign the major elements
an id based on what they do, then give the subelements that they contain
a class. I also tried to identify how the elements are currently being
rendered. Applications we write in infrastructure would create elements in
the areas identified so that css could be applied to all of those equally.
They'd import the stylesheet that gave a default fedora look and feel to the
app and possibly override some settings using an app-specific stylesheet.
On IRC, sijis pointed out that although it'd be nice to have a stylesheet
that made the apps look the same as fedoraproject.org, it might be hard to
keep updates to the stylesheet from breaking either the apps or
fedoraproject.org. So for imlementation, it might be better to put this
into a separate css file. Applications we write in infrastructure would use
that file whereas the website and wiki would continue to use a different
css. There'd likely be duplication between them but at least we wouldn't
have a separate stylesheet implementing fedora-look and feel for each app.
What do people think? Is this something we can turn into an actual document
for Fedora generated web applications to follow? What additional elements
would be helpful? Are there things that are not sufficiently generic?

Chat with People

Design Team,
I know I missed the F16 ALPHA banner deadline, but is it also too late
to work on the F16 BETA release banner, or would the same person who
created the ALPHA banner need to do the BETA release banner? Sorry if
this sounds complicating. I just want to work on the BETA banner if it
is alright. Thanks!

Introducing Myself
by Nathan Erfurth
Hello Fedora Design Team,
I hope I'm doing this right - haven't used a mailing list before and this is the only address and method listed, and second on the list for joining the design team is to introduce yourself.
Long story short, I'm a professional photographer and have been a techie for a decade or so. My favorite distro is Fedora, and I have finally made the move to contribute to a system that my business is going to be making extensive use of. I also have some web design experience. I'm interested in helping with interface design and of course desktop backgrounds, but that's not all. I'm open to a lot of possibilities, but I'm kind of a busy guy, so I hope I can be productive enough to the project.
I look forward to working with you and being corrected on mailing list usage.
Cheers,
erfunath
