[forge-dev] Jira 233

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hey Cheyenne,

Awesome! I saw your message on JIRA last night, sorry I missed it earlier.

Forge isn't actually an app that can be hosted. You would need to download
it, install it on your computer, and use it to generate an application.
Forge generates web applications :) You can find instructions here, if
you'd like to do that: http://forge.github.com/docs/using/

Then you can build an app using this tutorial:
http://forge.github.com/docs/using/basic-javaee-app.html

That's why I sent you the link to the mockup application, so you could see
the output without actually installing and using Forge itself (unless
somehow it never made it to you, in which case my fault!)

Here is the link again just in case:
http://design-lincolnbaxter.rhcloud.com/

This is the output of Forge, which is where the new theme would be
utilized. If we can get a nice design for the application, including the
data-tables, menus, and selectors that show up in the sub-pages (these can
vary depending on what a user is generating,) and we use the bootstrap
framework to allow easy updates and changes in the future, then I think we
are all set!

But it's important that we get the Forge brand and logo integrated into the
bootstrap theme either way.

If you get the theme looking great, we'll make sure it gets in there and
actually works great when users create apps :)

Sound good? Thoughts?
~Lincoln
