Status update on nieuw-nerf (Woonerf 2)

from Christopher Patterson on May 05, 2008 06:11 PM
Hey there folks-

Thought it was probably worth sending out an update to the team in  
terms of where we are on woonerf buildout. The short version is that  
thanks to some great help from nickyg over the weekend, we're cranking  
along nicely.

The longer version:

We have a rough draft in place of pretty much all the stuff listed at http://www.openplans.org/projects/streets/woonerf-v2-production-status 
  for Streetsblog and Streetfilms. The builds on mouna should be fully  
up-to-date, so if you're on the network you should be able to see the  
current versions at http://mouna.openplans.org/~openplans/stage.streetfilms.org/trunk/ 
  and http://mouna.openplans.org/~openplans/stage.streetsblog.org/ 
trunk/ - we don't have the footer finalized yet, so that's still  
pending, but most of the other stuff should be reasonably close to the  
comps. I've also opened a couple of tickets for stuff we need Anil or  
David on.

In terms of my next steps, I have some minor tweaks to knock out  
tonight, but tomorrow I'll switch over to LivableStreets tomorrow.  
Nick, you and I probably need to check in soon about when it makes  
sense to switch to using Trac for tracking open / new issues, versus  
editing http://www.openplans.org/projects/streets/woonerf-v2-production-status 
  - not a rush yet, but once we start getting feedback I think it'll  
be important.

We also need to decide how we're going to keep the look & feel in sync  
(my gut says having livablestreets set up to take the woonerf  
style.css and  fixes-old-ie.css as SVN externals may be the way to go,  
but I'm sure the dev team will have good input there).

For folks who aren't already aware, I've started a CSS style guide at http://www.openplans.org/projects/topp-design/css-style-guide 
  - if there are conventions you use or come up with that could help  
the team, please add them. I have been trying to adhere to those  
patterns as we build out woonerf, although there's probably at least a  
little bit of cleanup that will need to happen to make the current CSS  
more consistent.

Comments / questions / feedback? Lemme know.

Chris
