Preliminary question about themes before possible votes

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi All,

At OFBIZ-8293 we began to informally discuss about reducing the number of OOTB themes. But we could clearly agree and believe a vote is better/

 1. Now the 1st question which has been already discussed several time without a clear decision in this ML:
    do we, as a community, want to reduce the number  of themes?
    Should we vote on that before starting votes on or a lazy consensus could apply.
    I suggest that we try a lazy consensus and if nobody is against with strong argument we move on.
 2. Should we vote on the number of themes to keep?
    Again I suggest a lazy consensus ratehr than a vote
 3. The theme/s to remove, I think we should make several votes, one by theme, to clearly decide which theme/s to remove

Thanks for your help deciding on this, please try to keep focused :)

Jacques

Ah something I missed to precise: it's not about giving arguments, pro or cons. It's only about taking decisions, so again: please stay focused.

Thanks

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

I agree that it's important to remove themes from the framework (keep at
least one is important ^^ ).

But you don't mention what's happening with theme that is not in the
OOTB. I think it could be available from public repository instead of
simply deleted.

For me pors is to stop to maintain outdated theme that is never used. We
can focus on one theme and go further to upgrade the theme management
(and rendering management).

Julien.

Hi Julien,

We spoke about having themes like plugins, but I think it was just a small talk so far

In 1st place they should go in attic (ie stay in OFBiz trunk in svn repo ) and then possibly resurrected from there as themes-plugins, or not.
