Better Template Support #9

Open dovy opened 11 years ago

dovy commented 11 years ago

I am thinking of incorporate the BootStrap library for this, unless there are feelings otherwise. This would give us features like: auto-suggest (i'd love to find someone in a tree via typing their name), popups, sliders, etc. We'd have the tools we need to build this into a full utility. I just wonder if it may not be the best approach. The details of bootstrap can be found here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

Thoughts?

As far as templates and themes go, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. Hopefully people will want to use this in a variety of settings.

Right now the theme is purely CSS driven (with a single image for gender icons). Lots of people know CSS and can make it match their websites by editing the CSS. If people have to learn bootstrap to make it match, I think that will be a deterrent.

My focus right now is going to be on functionality rather than form, but if you want to work on template support, let's try to do it in a way that makes bootstrap completely optional.
