Upcoming design push

Upcoming design push

In preparation for the 1.0beta release, we're going to be doing a major
design and templating push.

For the week of the June 28th - July 2nd, Rollie will do a design review and
be making new mockups based on client feedback.  These will be tightly
constrained to the 1.0 feature set and should give us a solid base to work
from in July and throughout beta testing.

The following week, of July 5 - 9, we will get CivicWorks' Chris Patterson
(tenzochris) on board to help implement the design and tune up our styling.

Upshot of this is: if there are any outstanding design issues or questions
that have come up or that you anticipate, bring them up on this list by the
middle of next week so that we can compile them into a task list for design.

Thanks,

*About Forms*


We have a great deal of forms in GeoNode, most of them are currently
ExtJS based Javascript forms but some of them are default Django forms
(using html divs).

Is having a consistent forms "theme" on GeoNode something we should shoot for?

If the answer is yes, then here are a couple of projects that are
worth looking at to take some inspiration:

1. django-extjs: http://github.com/revolunet/django-extjs/
    A way to turn Django forms into ExtJs forms to allow us to use
just ExtJs forms in GeoNode.

2. UniForm     http://code.google.com/p/django-uni-form/
                       http://sprawsm.com/uni-form/
                       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_508

    A library focused in usability and beauty for Django forms
(django-uni-form) and uni-form (for plain html forms).

My 2 pesos,

Ariel.

+1 on a consistent form theme

When we get some of Chris Patterson's time when he comes back from vacation,
we should discuss more about best practices for implementing this with him
