Website Themes for Community Use

Who should use these

This webpage includes information relevant to the Ubuntu Web Presence Team and official Local Communities. Here you'll find resources to build up a loco website or other useful community web services.

If you plan to use listed resources in other ways than described above, please remove the branding parts.

To follow this team progress, please subscribe to mailing list.

What we need

Currently a team of community volunteers is being created. Those people will create teams to work for supporting web resources across a list of software packages like CMS and bulletin boards.

Code Hosting

Three Bzr Branches have been created for the development of the new community themes. There is a branch for the base theme (lp:ubuntu-website/light-base-theme). After the theme in this branch has been agreed upon, work will begin on the WordPress (lp:ubuntu-website/light-wordpress-theme) and Drupal (lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme) basing them on the base theme.

Base theme

Goal: Create a plain HTML/CSS file that can serve as a basis for the other themes, ideally even sharing the CSS and images created for this theme. This theme may be translated into many different human languages and be implemented in several different CMSs.

Bzr Branch: lp:ubuntu-website/light-base-theme

People working on this theme:

• Stas Sușcov (you may count on me for xHTML/CSS work)

• KuZeKo (you may count on me for HTML5/CSS with progressive enhancement and a little of jQuery)

• handheldcar (you may count on me for HTML5, CSS and maybe some JavaScript)

• List your names here

Drupal theme

Goal: Adapt the Base theme for use as a drupal module

Bzr Branch: lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme

WordPress theme

Goal: Adapt the Base theme for use with WordPress, write documentation on how to deploy a multi-language loco-website and maintain the plugins it will require.

Bzr Branch: lp:ubuntu-website/light-wordpress-theme

People working on this theme:

• Stas Sușcov (initiator of wordpress-loco and currently GSoC student at WordPress)
