Task description
* S5 is a system for creating and giving presentations as web pages which supports multiple themes. The Drupal Project recently got a presentation template to use as the basis for presentations. This task is to turn that theme template into an S5 theme in a manner that can be provided as a patch to the S5 project.
* You should probably start by downloading the S5 project, installing it, and testing it out. Take a look at how S5 themes are built.
* Then, download the presentation template files to get any image files you may need.
* Using your mastery of CSS, create a new theme for the S5 module based on this presentation template which can be added to the S5 module
Deliverables:
* A zip file attached to the issue which can be dropped into the ui/ folder of an s5 module installation (i.e. it should be at ui/drupal_base or similar). This task will be considered complete when your work has been reviewed and has been marked as RTBC.

aclight commentedDeliverables......
Comment #2
gregglesI copy/pasted from the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/ghop which don't include deliverables. This program has changed quite a bit and I don't know where to find the format for a task.
Comment #3
gregglesOr do you mean that the description section is supposed to contain deliverables - the deliverable is stated:
?
Comment #4
aclight commented@greggles: Sorry for the confusion. You're right that neither the issue add pages nor our task guidelines page has a specific deliverables section. I'll fix that here in a minute.
But for the benefit of the GHOP admins, as well as the students, we like to have a very clear and well defined deliverables section. That makes it easier for us to decide what kind of progress the student is making and make sure that the task itself doesn't expand in scope much beyond the original specifications.
In the case of this task, I saw that you had a sentence about what you wanted, but certain things aren't clear to me:
1. In what format should this be provided? .zip file? patch (and if so, against what)? some other format?
2. Where should it be placed? A lot of our tasks require that a handbook page be created, so that's the deliverable. I wasn't sure if this theme needed to be uploaded to another site or not. Maybe you just want it attached to the drupal.org issue that ends up being associated with this task, so if that's the case just say so.
We have a lot of students who are only online once a day, or maybe are in far away time zones, and if you have to go back and forth about minor details like where to post the work and what format it should be in, it can add a day or two of mostly wasted time to the task. So the more specific you can be up front about these kinds of things the better.

gregglesI added a more clear deliverable section to the original description? Ready to go?
Comment #6
aclight commentedLooks good, but can you add something like this to the deliverables:
This task will be considered complete when your work has been reviewed and has been marked as RTBC.
Go ahead and create an official task.

kourge commentedThis is the current progress:

Comments welcome. This theme is scalable (but not resolution independent).

webchickI've been helping kourge refine this a bit throughout the evening, and think it's in pretty good shape. But I'd love a review from someone who is /actually/ a designer, as well as greggles to confirm that code-wise or whatever it's in good shape. :)
Comment #11
yoroy commentedI looked at it with kourge in IRC, we refined it a bit. Looking good, certainly a nice translation of the presentation template.
Looking good in FF and Safari. We don't expect people giving Drupal S5 presentations with IE now do we?
Good job kourge, upload the theme and it's rtbc.
Comment #12
kourge commentedThe packaged theme.
Comment #13
webchickMarking RTBC, per yoroy. Great job, kourge!
Comment #14
gregglesAw, that's awesome. Thanks so much everyone. I've downloaded it and tested it (even on IE6) and it works great. In IE6 the text sizing doesn't work perfectly it seems so the descenders of the title get cut off, but that is not a bug worth worrying about in my book.
Once we get a name for this I will commit it.
Thanks!
Comment #15
greggleskourge decided on the name "faucet" so, it has been committed to both DRUPAL-5 and HEAD branches. Woohoo!
Comment #16
gregglesI made this the "default" theme on Drupal-5. HEAD is out of sync so when I start working in HEAD again I'll copy everything over and it will get synced that way.

Comment #18
greggleshey folks. This theme included a "text-transform: capitalize" for the titles. I think we should leave this up to the presenters so I removed this. I didn't notice that until I tried to use a function in the title since functions are generally lower case in Drupal.
@kourge - since you created this if you have a strong case for that let me know.
Thanks.
