Hi Thorsten,
great stuff, nice fresh look! :)
Thanks, I guess ... though it's still mostly Andrew's work.
Somewhat tangential to that, I'd like to trigger a decision-making
process on where to store original artwork files (svg I presume, for
the most).
All SVG, I'd hope, actually.
With the above patch, and some icon theme reworks, we now have svg
graphics in git, that is, version-controlled. At the same time,
we've historically kept them archived in the wiki
(version-controlled as well via mediawiki revisions):
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements
I have no personal preference, other than the fact that it would be
nice to standardize on one default, authoritative place.
In our weekly design chat, we discussed how to best handle this, too:
wiki pro: image previews, wiki pages as context, easy uploading, easy
downloading, easy registration, no command line tools necessary
wiki con: no folder structures possible, no good way of retrieving all
the newest relevant files
git pro: downloading possible through cgit (~easy), folder structures,
cloning retrieves the latest versions of everything
git con: no image previews, server sets wrong MIME type – everything
opens in the text editor, necessitates use of command line for
committing, registration requires third-party manual process
Our conclusion was that experiments should still happen within the wiki,
but for stuff that is authoritative or in-product already, we could use
git. However, the first two git cons really hurt even then.
We we weren't sure if we really needed a new git repository or if "core"
would suffice – icon SVG's for instance wouldn't hurt, because they're
excluded from builds anyway. For other stuff, like our whole initial
branding stuff, we would need at least a new folder though (which
wouldn't be part of the build process).
And even more tangential: please remember, for all artwork bearing
"The Document Foundation", that we typically need two versions of
that - one official, with the TDF tagline, for use from
'TDF-approved' artifacts, and one without, for default,
Thanks for the hint, will add such a version to the about box.
Astron.
