Rename twitter_bootstrap to bootstrap

I think the rename could be worthwhile.

This project has the most visibility, so if we can rename, it might make more sense? Although, what happens to the old project page?

Just linking to @andregriffin's post stating:

Well, we should rename this project anyway since "Twitter Bootstrap" is now just "Bootstrap", and there is no way to just change the shortname for this project, thus I've created Bootstrap Framework. I'll move over all active maintainers, and once we get the 2.x dev moved over, we can reassign everything still open in the issue queue, and make a note that this project page is dead. That sound like a good idea to everyone?

If this goes ahead, new project page would be:
http://drupal.org/project/bootstrap_framework

Well, I don't agree with creating a new project, specially when instead of forking this repo you just copied the source code over and created a new one destroying all the commit history.

Marking as won't fix.

Actually, won't fix is not a proper status for this, as I agree with name change, I just don't agree how the change itself was made (i.e. creating a new project, losing git history and removing original contributors git access).

What about http://drupal.org/node/1798166 which yourself mentioned in the issue description?

Looks like the bootstrap namespace is not used, what about moving to bootstrap?

Andre I think is really worth waiting, I have a quick chat on #drupal-contribute and they asked to wait another week.

IMO is worth waiting, bootstrap is a way better namespace. :)

#1837834: Offering to maintain Bootstrap

Hi @wundo.

Are you maintainer then? Or co-maintainer?

Gaining the namespace /project/bootstrap would be nice but if it's going to add a long wait, I'd rather we just move ahead.

Is there any way I can gain access to commit patches in order to improve the 2.x-dev branch?

/project/bootstrap now belongs to wundo, so this is unblocked.

cweagans, thanks for the quick response! :)

natted, I'm a co-maintainer. I will grant you commit access in the new project, don't worry, just let me go through the project migration first.

I've contacted by e-mail all co-maintainers and a few key contributors too letting them know about this issue and that the project namespace will be changed soon.

The repository (and full history) is now available at git.drupal.org:project/bootstrap.git, I've also cloned the 7.x-2.0-beta1 release.
Everyone who had access to the repo before (plus natted) have access to the new repo.

We have an open question, how do we let the users know they should move over to bootstrap?

What about creating a new beta2 release with all the committed changes and letting them know in the Release notes that they should update to the new theme?

Maybe inserting a drupal message on every admin page?

I think your suggestion with the new release would work. Anyone reviewing available updates would see the new version (beta2) eventually. It is most likely they would visit the twitter_bootstrap project page (which I guess we will update to explain the move so that they can't miss it).

The Drupal message is probably a good idea as well, in case anyone installs / updates via drush or some other method.

Some people may miss the change initially but most people would be covered.

Also, once everything is ready, if we re-assign all the issues (like Andre did earlier), anyone who has bookmarked an issue should reach the new project issue tracker.

Anyone following any twitter_bootstrap issues on drupal.org will get the (new) notification appear as well, so it'll be hard to miss for any active contributors.

I think we should just change the status of the theme to "no further development" & "unsupported" and refer to the new theme in the project description.

Yep fine for me.

FYI http://antistatique.net just worked some days on creating a new boostrap theme based on mothership. I will release it as a new branch on http://drupal.org/project/bootstrap when we feel comfortable to do so.

@frank probably a good idea also.

I have a feeling if the project gets marked "obsolete" then it adds a security notification within Drupal's update system. I may be wrong though.

@natted the project do have security issues... anyway people shouldn't use unstable version in production.

I just stumbled across the project with the new name, after setting up a site with the old one last week. Why don't you just add some text to the old twitter_bootstrap project page saying that it's deprecated/obsolete/changed since anyone might still link to that from blogs or just stumble across it. I didn't get any notifications with drush or in the site status page, so I was clueless.

@jcmiller - The changeover hasn't been completed yet, we will be doing as you suggest.

When everything has been moved over, you're welcome to ping me via my contact tab and I'll set up a redirect from twitter_bootstrap to bootstrap.

Works for me!

Sounds like a plan. Keep up the good work.

As part of the move, I'll start re-assigning the open items in the issue queue.

I'll leave this one here, so others can see what's going on.

I was wondering if somebody could help. I have a subtheme of twitter bootstrap and have a website that has been working without any issues. I have upgraded the theme to the new bootstrap theme (without twittter) in the name. In my subtheme info file i have change the reference to bootstrap instead of twitter bootstrap. In my custom template.php file i have changed the references to bootstrap again instead of twitter bootstrap. Everything seems to be working apart from my menus. They do not render using the new bootstrap theme. I receive an error regarding $variables['tabs']['#primary'] = _twitter_bootstrap_local_tasks($variables['tabs']['#primary']); which i have changed to $variables['tabs']['#primary'] = _bootstrap_local_tasks($variables['tabs']['#primary']); to reference the menu.inc _bootstrap_local_tasks. Is there any issue with the menu.inc file in the new bootstrap theme? if i switch back to the twitter bootstrap theme and change the name references again it all works fine. I would like to be running the latest bootstrap theme but just cannot seem to get my menus to output.

Don't know why this is still open. It can be closed.
