As Paul announced in December (https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2021-December/046841.h...) Biblibre is sponsoring a refresh of the staff interface design. They have hired a graphic designer, Thibaud Petit, to create some proposals, and will have an intern starting in February who will be able to devote six months to assisting in the implementation. Yesterday we had our first meeting: Paul, me, Thibaud, Mark Gavillet of PTFS-Europe, Lucas Gass of ByWater Solutions, and Brooke Johnson, friend of Koha. We discussed the possibilities and the difficulties involved in the task and talked about the possible scope of the changes. Some major points: - Style can be "easily" affected by global CSS changes. We've done this before, 10 years ago (!) with Bug 7979, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7979 - The scope of other changes will be limited by the difficulty involved in making global changes to the many staff interface templates. The opportunity is there to implement some global changes via global includes, e.g. header, footer, sidebar menus. - I hope that we can have an upgrade to jQuery before the implementation starts, and an upgrade to Bootstrap either before or as part of the redesign. - We have not instructed Thibaud to limit his proposals to the green color scheme we currently associate with Koha. We hope to review some design proposals in two weeks on February first. Thanks to everyone who participated, and thanks especially to Paul and Biblibre for spearheading this effort! -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries (740) 737-6006 https://www.myacpl.org
