I think it is best to change the bootstrap template to what we need and
then we are fine.

Bootstrap 4 has also extra classed for "display" headings. Maybe it is
those that we should change. Probably just the default ones.

How do you guys feel about the Ubuntu font anyways?

I think we should go with the bootstrap names again. We exactly have
colours for the success, info, danger, etc. states and I used that in
all the existing markup already. So going with that way we don't have
to change too much in the HTML and just get the right colour
everywhere.

The fewer stuff we have to customise the better.

Could do. Depends on what it is really. Generally I would like to keep
everything open and accessible for everyone. So we can see what the
status is, review what we need to review and so on.

I would prefer small and logical steps. That doesn't have to be once a
day. Usually that is more often :)

You can use branches for stuff as well. I usually make sure that by the
end of my working day everything is in Git - just to have a backup.

This will just be used to serve the HTML. The assets like JS and CSS
will be served by nginx later. I try to keep the number of files as low
as possible because that means fewer requests.

However, I do not see that there will be more files required. You
should not need to create more JS and CSS will just be modifying the
Bootstrap template which is one (rather large) file.

Some of the websites are served over http, some over https.

We deliver assets from static.ipfire.org in production, so that nobody
needs to download these files multiple times when they browser across
domain names on the same webapp.

Hope this answers all these questions so far. Please do send more if
there are any.

What is the progress so far? How are you doing? I cannot tell by the
questions you are asking :)

[IPFire Artwork] Questions for the CSS based on the mockup and technical question related to Server and GIT

Hello,
I have some questions:

What is the base-font size? 16px (SM) or 20px (M)?

It is okay if I use rem for the font-size? (It’s the default in bootstrap).

How we handle the headings do we use h1-h6 with given sizes or are the sizes defined via classes 4xl-xs?
(Keine Ahnung ob das so zu verstehen ist. Also meine Frage ist ob wir für die Überschriften die Schriftgrößen bei H1-H6 definieren oder wir die Größen über Klassen festlegen also 4xl-xs?)

What are the fallback fonts? Ubuntu, “Helvetica Neue”, Arial, sans-serif?

The grid is the default Bootstrap Grid (12 columns) with a padding of 24px instead of the default 30px?

Do we use the color naming from the Zeplin Project or a semantic color naming like brand-primary, brand-info etc.?

If I create a note file for myself, do I also put this file on git?

How often do you want me to submit the work, is once a day enough?

I’m not familiar with the Python webserver it is better to serve less files (like in HTTP) or more small files (like in HTTP/2)?

Can I remove all the HTTP prefixes in the template file and put only //. At the moment both methods are used.
