Hi, I like to share my thoughts about the Boosters Goal "Integrate all Infrastructure under one Umbrella" or the "Umbrella Project" in short, see [1] I think we are a bit stuck with the project and I like to reanimate that as we want to move forward. Where are we now? The Umbrella Team has come up with some requirements which should be met on the wiki page [1], and has documented a design concept at [2]. The core point is that we want to create a task oriented structure that guides all of the identified user groups to the content they request. The discussion ended up that the new theme has four menus - Downloads - Support or Help - Community - Development So far I think that is great work and Robert has proposed the so called Bento Theme that would provide these requirements, a preview can be pulled from [2] I think to make make some progress with the project we should narrow down the requirements of the goal to make it actually finishable. My concrete proposal for that is that we succeeded with the goal when - we have developed the bento theme that all openSUSE pages can actually use it without changes on the framework - we have ported one openSUSE page to the new theme to proof its working, specifically download.o.o and download.o.o/search - we have documented how the port is done - we have made some buzz around it to motivate people to try a port themselves. I realise that it is a danger to have only one or few pages ported to the new theme, but I would stand it. If other ports feel that they're absolutely needed or very difficult, we add another goal to the list at [3]. I will schedule a meeting on monday 13:30 CET which is mandatory for the Umbrella Team and open to all interested to discuss. I hope that will bring us back on track again.

What I think that should get included in the bento template is an integrated login form in the main top box, and a place for the secondary navigation (maybe this already exists). See the current state of the webclient integration here: https://build.opensuse.org/stage Greetings

FWIW, I think that to really push the community towards adopting the new theme, the wiki would probably need to be ported, or the port should be advanced enough. And then other websites can be left as "exercises for the readers" ;-) My argument there is that software.o.o and the wiki are really the two big visible faces of openSUSE, and if we don't switch them at the same time, it will feel weird for outsiders. That being said, I have no idea what's the status of the wiki theme, so take this as an external opinion :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help@opensuse.org
