[Building Sakai] Adding New Optional Responsive Portal to trunk

[Mark Reilly]

Yes, the portal.neoprefix seems too specific. 

Ideally it would be just portal.prefix and then I could have used, 

portal.prefix=morpheus-

You may also want to set a portal.default property too. It could be used as a fallback but could be updated if the default was changed between major version i.e. Sakai 11 uses foo and Sakai 12 uses bar. 

Thanks,
Mark

>> Gonzalo Silverio and I have been working on a new set of velocity templates for Sakai 10. The new portal—currently called morpheus–is a rewrite of neo-portal templates. The templates are experimental and not ready yet for production. All files are in addition to the existing codebase and should have no impact on existing code. The morpheus templates have been rewritten using HTML5 markup and a fair amount of—no longer needed—divs have been removed.

Morpheus-deafult is the default skin and is similar in structure to the current skins; It contains only css, javascript, and images. Morpheus-master is built using sass, a css preprocessor, and it's used to build morpheus-default (and in the future other example skins). By using sass we can make the process of customizing Sakai much simpler; We'll also make it more maintainable by creating one master codebase to generate all the various example skins.
