[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Anyone currently working on an opac redesign? Especiallly mobile-freindly?

[Lazar, Alexey Vladimirovich]

Hi, Jason.

It's been a while since this thread went quiet, but I just wanted to mention that I've been working on a test implementation of the Twitter Bootstrap framework [1] over the stock Evergreen OPAC - at this point for internal demo purposes. I also considered trying Foundation [2], but the implementation curve seemed a bit more involved for our current scope, so I chose Bootstrap.

I am of the opinion that adopting some type of a front-end framework may be the most efficient way to deliver a good presentation layer for all the types of browsers and screen sizes out there, as well as to keep up proactively with changes to browsers and emerging web standards.
