Re: [VuFind-Tech] Future of the VuFind bootstrap themes

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Markus,

We definitely intend to continue to maintain the bootstrap/bootprint themes -- they're what we are using in production here at Villanova. It also seems likely that blueprint will eventually be deprecated (though the timeline for that will depend on community needs).

As far as I know, bootstrap / bootprint should be feature complete now -- if there are any problems remaining, they may be small internationalization issues. We appreciate reports of anything you encounter!

As for as upgrading to bootstrap 3, it sounds like the new framework has many incompatibilities with the old framework, so moving forward there is more of a challenge. I imagine we'll have to do it sooner or later, but whether that comes in the form of changes to the existing theme or the creation of a new bootstrap3 theme will depend on the extent of the changes, and the timeline for getting the work done.

Since Chris is the main force behind the themes, I'm also copying him into this thread so he can add any comments of his own.
