>From IT World, this heads up about a new US standard for government website contractors:
<quote> Not only does the U.S. standard choose other frameworks, it specifically *does not* recommend bootstrap for production sites. <blockquote> 18F specifically does not recommend using Twitter/Bootstrap for production work because of one, the difficulty in adapting its opinionated styles to bespoke design work and two, its CSS style places semantic layout instructions directly in HTML classes. </blockquote> For CSS, the standard recommends using Sass</a> as a CSS preprocessor and the Bourbon framework to jumpstart layout development. They also define an alternative if you can't/don't want to use Sass and prefer something more lightweight: Yahoo's Pure.css. </quote> This story is at <URL:http://www.itworld.com/article/2989009/open-source-tools/a-useful-web-development-standard-from-an-unlikely-source-the-us-government.html> and includes a link to the standard: <URL:;https://playbook.cio.gov/designstandards/getting-started/> which begins with <quote> The U.S. Web Design Standards are designed to set a new bar for simplicity and consistency across government services, while providing you with plug-and-play design and code. </quote> Whether you agree or not, sounds like an interesting discussion. /dps "do all Bootstrap sites look alike?" -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
