Re: [forge-dev] Jira 233

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 On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 4:04 PM, Cheyenne Weaver <cweaver(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: Hey Lincoln, does it make sense to try and host Forge somewhere to work on it, or would it be simpler just to grab key screens from the demo app html and style them locally? Hey Rysiek, Lincoln is looking for some help to implement Twitter's bootstrap framework for styling Forge apps: http://design-lincolnbaxter.rhcloud.com/faces/index.xhtml. Would it make sense to deploy Forge somewhere on staging to work on the demo app? Otherwise, I could just grab key screens of html and work on it locally, but I might miss some elements that way. Would it even be possible host the app somewhere? I'm not sure what all goes into it :-) Thanks! ~c Cheyenne Weaver JBoss Community UI & Design [ AIM: jcheyennew ] On May 2, 2012, at 1:24 AM, Lincoln Baxter, III wrote: > Hey Cheyenne! > > Awesome! > > We would like to implement this using the Twitter Bootstrap framework, since it provides most of the groundwork that people will need to be productive developing an application.
