Developer Portal Migration to Drupal 8Ian Lessing (Unlicensed)

Motes: Drupal 8 Migration Notes

Links:

 Ian and Denise met yesterday. Radix -  the theme with the kickstarter module. We can use it as our base theme. Denise had concerns with how complicated it is. We need to pick a theme to use. Ian will ask Brian Wolf if he has a ucsb theme that is easy to use. The Public affairs theme is very complicated and it utilizes outdated version of Bootstrap (3).

  •  Diana will ask Alex Sokolov what is he using. 

 Denise will be pulling out of the project starting in January due to other priorities in ARIT

 Ian tried to install drupal core updates on the new site and got a lot of conflicts. It will be good to find more help to move the drupal forward. Others might be David Gurba (instructional development), Mihoko Jones (public affairs), Ryan Vizena (public affairs). 

 Reinard's team has extensive Dupal experience. Renard offered to allocate a resource (Hunter) to help Ian with getting the Drupal 8 site setup. He and Hunter are going to join our next meeting.
