Goals
- for *.tikiwiki.org sites to be consistent in look & feel.
- to have consistent navigation from one to the next
Historically, it's not as simple as it seems to maintain a consistency within a federation of sites.
Challenges
- Various sites are managed by different people
- Various sites are hosted on different servers
- Various sites are at different versions of Tiki (1.9x., 2.x, and now 3.x)
- Some sites are very simple (ex.: mobile.tikiwiki.org) while others (dev.tikiwiki.org) had way more info.
So, it's difficult to develop a theme/style/approach that will be consistent, and the to apply it everywhere. Just getting FTP/SSH access everywhere and/or getting server maintainers to change theme is not trivial.
Tiki 3.0 opens up new possibilities.
- There is so much more than we can now do with the admin panel
- We can use profiles as a recipe of how we want to apply the consistency. If we make changes in our approaches, we just need to login an apply the profiles
- Once all our sites are managed with TRIM, this can be even more automatic :-)
