Agenda

  • Revision release MWF 1.3.02
    • Tightening of CSS definitions should have positive benefit for content providers - but if they're relying on the leakage, then they may need to add additional definitions of their own
    • Menu support using UL added for semantic reasons and because of a need in Drupal (see https://github.com/ucla/mwf/issues/146)
  • Documentation for MWF 1.3
    • Documentation is now packaged as part of the MWF itself in the /doc subdirectory
    • An online (but not readily updated) version of the MWF 1.3 documentation is at http://mwf.ucla.edu/framework13/doc
    • Wiki documentation will be deprecated (preserved but moved into a subpage) - no longer maintained
  • Upgrading to MWF 1.3
    • Anyone having issues with it?
    • A few caveats service providers should watch out for:
      • PHP 5.3 is required
      • Configuration file format has changed to ini style
      • Decorators do not allow HTML content to be passed as inner content
      • Caching now occurs in non-system directory
      • No installation script needed anymore
      • No configuration required if /root is your web docroot
    • Advice that should be given to content providers:
      • Lean CSS should be recommended for MWF 1.3, instead of the old syntax in MWF 1.2
      • Some changes to the Javascript API have occurred (geolocation errback and no more flexbox detection)
    • UCLA's strategy for upgrading to MWF 1.3:
      • Communications is currently doing a refresh of the styling using MWF 1.3
      • Once style refresh is done, a preview instance will be put up
      • Content providers should point their dev instances at the preview to test
      • Unless any concerns are voiced, UCLA will then upgrade production after a few weeks of testing
  • MWF Conference
    • September 5 to 7 at UCLA or remote
    • Website is http://mwf.ucla.edu/conference
    • Schedule is up (two tracks for two days, and then a workshop day the third)
    • Registration is open (non-profit organization early bird rate ends July 20)
  • Discussion about evolution towards a responsive toolkit for MWF 2
