Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted September 21, 2014 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi All, Many of you have probably seen our new responsive Web site skin for the wiki at www.funtoo.org. I switched to a new bootstrap-based skin which is in turn based on an in-development set of MediaWiki extensions that I'm helping out with. Here are advantages of the new skin: Properly renders on mobile devices Much easier to customize and improve over time Much "cleaner" look Makes it possible to integrate the look of auth.funtoo.org with the wiki. Here are some negatives: For a while, a few things will not render 100% correctly until tweaked Doesn't look like a "regular" wiki Overall, it is a big positive change as the new bootstrap framework with the extensions is much easier to customize and improve than the "old" MediaWiki skin system. And this effort is also being actively developed so by having funtoo.org use this system, I am better able to test it out, find issues, and contribute to its development. Hope you like it! -Daniel Deklan? and 666threesixes666 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666threesixes666 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 maybe you should make a more default mediawiki like skin to make it less of a shock to people, so they could gradually be conditioned into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie_Tux Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The web site looks really good on Chrome for Android. :) I struggle to think of a better looking "mobile friendly" page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted October 6, 2014 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 The new layout is great. I wish the layout to be as much consistent with wiki and forums as possible. We are using IP.Board which has its own CSS framework, so it doesn't use bootstrap. There are supposed to be big improvements in IP.Board 4, which will be available soon, and we will switch to it a little bit after it is released. But no IP.Board uses bootstrap which is what our wiki uses. I will be looking into a just-as-sexy-but-more-traditional default theme for the forums, though. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
