Hi everyone, I believe we should make Bloodhound responsive to better suit mobile and tablet devices. Bootstrap, which we have already adopted, gives us great tools to do this<http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#responsive>. Smartphone and tablet growth is still exponential, this will become ever more important as time passes and Bloodhound picks up in popularity. Also a responsive layout may help differentiate us from other issue tracking software.
This will be a long term project, and I believe we should track progress towards it in a 'Responsive layout' milestone outside of the normal release cycle. I also believe we should treat the responsive layout as a 'beta' even as the product itself matures, to allow us to break it down into ever smaller tasks to better suit our way of working. The improvements, even if only for parts of any given page, can then be rolled out with each new release, working towards the full conversion. My suggestion is to enable it using an opt-in mechanism in the Admin settings of any Bloodhound deployment, showing a clear 'Responsive layout beta' banner at the top of pages where the responsive stylesheet is in use. Responsive Ticket view mockup<https://www.dropbox.com/s/c7hlp2n01ntwqfa/Bloodhound%20responsive%20ticket%20layout.png> I have raised ticket #217 <https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/217>to reflect this suggestion.
