I would also add:
... just in case there happen to be templates that aren't open source for some reason. :shrug:
So far, I am liking Minimal Mistakes. A few reasons why, in no particular order of importance.
Looks like a big improvement! I love it, shall we create a branch so we can work in peace and then when we have somehting to show, we...show it? Or how should we get started?
Okay! Here's what I did.
new-website
, to house the work. I agree that the best approach would be to work in a branch but I wanted us to be able to have a live, shared test environment so we're working with the same point of reference. Having a new repo means we can have a new GitHub Pages instance. I populated the repo with a .gitignore
specifically for Jekyll work.http://theopenorganization.org/new-website/
you should see a blank canvas.And that's all I was able to do for now (sorry), but I can help more later if you'd like. In the meantime, if you clone the new-website
repo you should have a working copy of everything I've been able to accomplish so far. Obviously, feel free to begin working and pushing your changes straight to the repository to update the working site. I think that's the best way to stay synced up. But if you have other preference or ideas, please do share.
HIIII I was figuring loads of stuff out, and I'm committed to this template now! Nowhere close to DONE, loads of design to do, but I started to figure out the techie bits and loooookkkkk:
I was just playing around with the little headers, wanted to see what the splash images did. They hero-stretch, fyi, and I didn't want to change that, but I'm not at all married to these little headers. I still have loads to figure out on the collections and galleries feature, and I want to mess with layouts and stuff.
@semioticrobotic if you have time and are looking around and thinking "we should do X and we should do Y" maybe file tickets if you don't have tinker time? I'm excited! We're making progress!
Wow! Nice work, @LauraHilliger! Great strides.
In the days ahead I will poke around and tinker, even file some tickets!
Thank you!
Our original template was selected for ease of use, but it would appear that it is no longer fit for purpose. We need to find a new one. The community has asked for a theme that has:
In addition, maintainers want something that is easy to maintain and update ;) We can use this ticket to try and find something to start from.
Here are all the themes.
