I agree that we should deprecate prog with 3.16, but I think that CCSR should wait another release so that people have time to transition their customizations from CCSR to the Bootstrap theme before it disappears.

Hi,

Another point for discussion: I propose that the Bootstrap OPAC theme be made the installation default for 3.14, and that we announce deprecation of the prog and CCSR themes at the same time, with those themes to be removed (or split into separate packages, if somebody really wants to maintain one or both) in 3.16.

Why deprecate prog?  For one thing, I don't think we have enough people to successfully maintain both prog and Bootstrap.

Why deprecate CCSR?  The Bootstrap theme, since it's responsive, provides support for both mobile devices and desktop screens, thereby addressing the mobile concerns that motivated the creation of CCSR.  Furthermore, since CCSR is a derivative of prog, maintaining support for CCSR would effectively mean maintaining support for prog as well.

Regards,

Galen
