Working group - D7 themes

Update: 6/13/11

Issues


  1. Need clarification about parameters, constraints and goals for Authenticated theme. (Seems to be outside of capabilities and responsibility of working group.)
  2. Amount of work, expectations, goals, and timelines are too vague for most participants to commit time and effort to theme project.

Questions:


  1. Use a Starter/Base theme for future theme development?
  2. Availability of full-width template region located in the imagestripe?

Completed items:


  1. Nat (supakit) has setup a project demo and code repo:
    https://wcmdemo.sfsu.edu/d7demo/
    https://svn.sfsu.edu/drupal_campus/svn/branches/d7campus/d7demo/
  2. Webtemplate 1.06 will be release tomorrow June 14. In this meeting, Wiebke (wiebke) confirmed that changes are CSS changes and are not major changes to layout or markup structure.
  3. While setting up a prototype on WCM, I've provided a number of theme fixes to Nat that addressed many of the layout issues with the current D6 theme:

  4. A list of Section 508 compliant starter themes have been posted here:

Summary:
  1. Convert the current sfsu theme into a Drupal 7 version and incorporate the changes that the new SF State web template.
  2. Create an internal theme for use with both the Gateway and any internal website pages (any pages that require authentication).
