"CSS: a Community Connect Town Hall" was a March 2017 interactive broadcast event. It was open to the general FANDOM public.
Topics
This Town Hall was unusual in that it had four topics delivered by just two presenters, while a special guest joined in to the "Ask-Me-Anything" session at the end.
- FishTank spoke of ways to responsibly customise the FANDOM skin, as well as understanding some best practices with CSS in templates (Slides)
- Meanwhile, CzechOut talked about general design theory (Slides) as well as the need to ensure cross-browser CSS compatability (Slides)
Presentations were geared towards editors with novice-to-moderate styling skills, though more seasoned editors likely found something to mull over, as well. While each presentation was followed by a question-and-answer period relative to that talk, the event concluded with a general "Ask-Me-Anything" session. Special guests, including FANDOM's chief UX designer, answered a variety of questions about design best practices.
