I just took a peak at this again and it's looks fine, so it is now in SVN.
Thank you very much!
I'd love to commit to helping out, and I think it's great that you're asking for this support from someone. Unfortunately I just can't do it right now... my low billable hours are starting to get noticed by my partners... ;) I'll certainly keep an eye on this and help out where I can. If things calm down for us a bit at Hotwax I and other will definitely get involved, we've been talking about doing something with this for a couple of months now, and Tim Ruppert is especially enthusiastic about getting this done.
Understood. I looked through the related Jira issues and it seems there are quite a few committers interested in this kind of work, so I'm sure there will be enough people to get it done. Having you "peek in" from time to time would be helpful.
As a reasonable expectation: let's see what we can do to establish a direction starting right away, and then see how far we get, and then at the developers conference try to knock out some good stuff. There are already some really talented front-end people with good HTML and CSS experience that have "registered" for the conference.
Actually, that was my motivation to push hard on this now. I thought it would be helpful to have some groundwork laid before the conference.
At the dev conference we'd like to have one "champion" for each objective. Would you be interested in playing that role for this? The stuff you're describing below is actually a pretty good description of what a champion would do for this sort of thing (according to my imagination... ;) ).
Yeah, sure. That would be great.
A CSS/HTML best practices document would be a great resource and I agree this would help a lot. This approach to create it sounds good. If you could throw out a draft to this mailing list I'm guessing various people will review and respond. It might be good to actually start with a page on the docs.ofbiz.org wiki space (OFBIZ space), and then people can feedback there and we'll have a revision history and such. Once that settles down and we want to "canonize" it, I or someone else with permissions there can move the page to the "OFBADMIN" space where all of the other best practices and such documents live.
I'll work on a draft and get it on the list this weekend.
