Announcement: Bootstrap adoption starting for Open edX

[Andy Armstrong]

I'm excited to announce that we are starting the work to adopt Bootstrap for all Open edX applications. This follows on from the successful acceptance of OEP-16:

https://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oep-0016.html

Our plan is to leave the Ginkgo release as is, but then to start implementing in earnest in time for Hawthorne. At a minimum, we intend to remove the Pattern Library by then, so that the code will have two styles of Sass. For pre-Pattern Library pages, we plan to convert the most trafficked pages first, and then document the process so that anyone in the community can help with the remaining conversion.

If you are interested in seeing how this work is progressing, we have two initial PRs:

1. The first draft of the edX theme is being created in a new edx-bootstrap repo:

https://github.com/edx/edx-bootstrap/pull/1

This has been published as an npm library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/edx-bootstrap

2. We are creating a skeleton page in edx-platform to prove out the new library:

https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/15415

We would love any and all feedback that you have, so feel free to comment on the PRs, reply to this thread, or start a discussion in the Slack #front-end channel.

Thanks,

 - Andy

P.S. For those who were unable to attend, I recommend watching Ari Rizzitano's Open edX conference talk on what's next for the front end:
