patterns

We are happy to announce that an alpha version Patterns v.7.x is out.

It was a huge effort porting it to Drupal 7.x, and the full documentaion is available here:

http://drupal.org/node/1464118

We are also happy to announce that automatic exporting of patterns configuration from the database is finally working. At least partially, we are still testing this feature.

Please give us feedback, open bug issues, features requests and so on!

Cheers,

It seems the variety of options to create some sort of distro or feature set or pattern or template or whatever are broad, but one thing that is united under all of them is the need to collect a list of what sort of features should be included in this. So what features do you think every or most church websites should have. Let's stay away from modules, how it would be accomplished.

This is a question about defining the problem. We can figure out how to solve it later.

Chris Bryant's Patterns presentation, given at August's SF Drupal User's Group is finally up. (The Flash version is still converting as I write this, so in the meantime if you see the previous "Swish-E" presentation, check out the Patterns video here. )

Anyone interested in collaborating on Zen like flex theme, specifically someone who can code the AS3 DTO's? The idea being to model the project after the features and functionality currently available in the Zen theme, but built in flex.

Its my feeling that if we had one good starter theme for flex it would allow designers and themers to more easily get started creating more advanced flex themes.

I'm also wondering if there might be some overlap or lessons we can learn from the patterns.module. http://drupal.org/project/patterns

EDIT: There will be a BOF discussion tomorrow, Wed morning at 9:00am here at Drupalcon. Please join the discussion and share your thoughts.
