The New elementary.io

A focused, minimum viable product (hence MVP) for a website that accompanied the release of elementary OS Freya.

Project Organization

Issues for individual actionable items, or bugs i.e.:
- Design home page
- Implement home page
- Add payment form
- Fix link to Wired article
Milestones for "releases" or overall steps, i.e.:
- Single-page site
- User Documentation
- Journal
Reviews Do all work in branches, then submit pull requests for review when ready
- No dummy content in master, ever.
- small diff is best diff
- The reviewer is the gatekeeper. Be kind of a dick.

Architecture/Philosophies

HTML, CSS, and JS
Super simple PHP-based templating system
No/minimal frameworks (keep it simple!)
Graceful degradation (don't be held back by crappy browsers)
Mobile-first

Templating System

PHP-based
Pages go in root as .php files
require_once '_backend/preload.php';, set any variables, then include $template['header']; (see code-of-conduct for an example) at top of page.
include $template['footer']; at bottom of page.
Page variables:
- $page['title']
- $page['description']
- $page['author']
