We're focusing on getting the minimum viable product for our website up and running for the release of Freya. To start, we're just getting a single-page download site ready for Freya. From there we will expand to a small number of pages as needed. We'll want to make sure we migrate over any important information like docs before we can take the old site offline.
- Issues for individual actionable items, or bugs i.e.:
- Design home page
- Implement home page
- Add payment form
- Fix link to Wired article
- Milestones for "releases" or overall steps, i.e.:
- Single-page site
- User Documentation
- Journal
- Reviews Do all work in branches, then submit pull requests for review when ready
- No dummy content in master, ever.
- small diff is best diff
- The reviewer is the gatekeeper. Be kind of a dick.
- HTML, CSS, and JS
- Super simple PHP-based templating system
- No/minimal frameworks (keep it simple!)
- Graceful degradation (don't be held back by crappy browsers)
- Mobile-first
- PHP-based
- Pages go in root as .php files
- Include
_templates/sitewide.php, set any variables, theninclude $template['header'];(see code-of-conduct for an example) at top of page. include $template['footer'];at bottom of page.- Page variables:
$page['title']$page['description']$page['author']
It's important we keep the code style consistent across collaborators and editors. We are following the official elementary code style guidelines for this project.
For quick reference:
- 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs)
- Comma-separated CSS rules on separate lines
- Strip extra whitespace (on blank lines and ends of lines)
For a simple local development environment, you will need:
- PHP5
Then inside the project directory, run php -S localhost:8000 router.php. Next, just navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to view the site.
