The way to go about will be to have base templates and static files as a separate repository, where all the consistent look and feel related work (navbar, forms, footer, etc.) goes. Other projects can add this repo as a submodule and extend and customize it as needed. > This little prototype is an attempt at making a single line of > javascript that we could include in each app to add a floating button > that pulls up a menu taking you to other Fedora apps.

The menu indeed looks nice. However, I have some concerns regarding how new users will perceive it. Usually people are used to navbars and sidebars in most websites. I think our menu content is much similar to the navbar content at http://www.myntra.com/, top level menu items and sub items for each top level item. http://www.myntra.com/ has implemented the navbar with a lot of data in a very elegant way. We can load the navbar as a separate snippet from our CDN. The cache in the CDN gets invalidated and updated with changes happening for apps.fp.o.
