I've copied the current Homepage design from Photoshop to Sketch to speed up in the future. Same with the styleguide/pattern library.
Next step is to design the key viewports for the homepage. Already started with that. I'm pretty busy in the evenings with private stuff like home improvements and annoying things which needs to be done.
Furthermore I had the idea to create a Slack channel for a more comfortable collaboration with Sven. Discuss and share stuff very easily and fast. I have very good experience with that tool during the last ~2 years.
What do you think Michael, would you sign up and create a IPFire Slack channel? The free basic version is totally enough.
Best, Maurice

Hello guys,
just wanted to check in on you and see how things are going since it has gone a little bit quiet here.
I am traveling over the next days again, but in case there is anything I can help out with, please send me an email.
Best, -Michael

Hey Maurice, no problem. I will do it with the variables: https://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-less so
we
have complete control.

Hey Sven,
do you think we can do a tiny customization at Bootstrap 4's column
grid
system? Just 24px gutter width instead of 30px? I found a short guide
for
that. Seems pretty easy.
bootstraps-gutter
-width/
From my point of view it looks like you just need to change this:
.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1 ...{more columns} { padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; } .row { margin-right: -15px; margin-left: -15px; }
to this:
.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1 ...{more columns} { padding-right: 12px; padding-left: 12px; } .row { margin-right: -12px; margin-left: -12px; }
That would help me to follow consistent UI metrics.
Best, Maurice

It would be nice to keep the conversation in English since there are people reading our mailing lists who don't speak German.
I know it might be a little bit complicated in the beginning but I
am sure
we will all get used to it :)

Hallo Maurice, ich antworte einfach mal in Deutsch. Englisch kann ich gut lesen
und
verstehen
aber schreibe es nicht so gern.
Im Moment baut die Seite ja auf Bootstrap auf, wird das nicht
überflüssig wenn
du sowohl Grid als auch Pattern Library aufbaust? In wie weit wir die Pattern Library über alle Projekte teilen
sollten
wir
sehen wenn die Webseite steht, da die im Moment Priorität hat.
Freu mich auf die Zusammenarbeit.
Grüße, Sven

Don't worry about the delay :)
As far as I can remember I didn't created responsive versions of
the
IPFire
Website. It makes sense that these are at least almost done
before
Sven
starts with coding. I don't want that Sven has to guess the font
sizes,
paddings, margins, line-height and so on. That's not his job :)
So
please
stay tuned for a proper handover. I'm sure that will help Sven a
lot.
@Sven Hey Sven, nice to meet you :)
I just want to give some information beforehand. You may already
know
that
but I just want to get sure that we are both on the same level.
My designs and layouts are based on a 8x8px grid (4x4px
fallback) and
are
Atomic Design driven. Touch Targets are at least 48x48px. In
some edge
cases
there might be less. Means that you will never see a "margin:
50px"
because
50 is not dividable by 8 or 4. I would very appreciate if you
could
consider
that within your code. That method provides a great support to
follow
a
consistent line. I'm pretty sure that I'll provide all designs
via
zeplin.io. From that tool you will get (almost) every
information you
need.
Margins, paddings, colors, font size, etc.
Also I'm a big fan of Pattern Libraries. At least when it comes
to the
IPFire WUI there will be a lot of pattern usage to save time on
your
side.
My strong guess is that it would make sense to have different
Pattern
Libraries for the Website/FireInfo and WUI. But that is totally
up to
you
how to deal with that :) I think you already saw the first
designs for
the
WUI?
Hope that doesn't sound like an arrogant Designer. Believe me
that one
of my
most important goals is to make the DEVs life as comfortable as
possible by
providing well prepared handovers. My experience with that is
that we
will
get a great output and a professional looking UI/Website.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best, M
