There are other aspects. For example the amount of data which is squeezed through the lines or through the air to deliver a page.

The article Lightening Your Responsive Website Design With RESS and the related articles linked in the "Editor’s Note" at the top of the article describe ways to get pages loaded faster. On the speed field Moodle also needs to improve a lot.

But talking about techniques how to make Moodle work on screens of any size or to shorten the page delivery time is not enough. The most important part is a mind shift on the developers and theme designers side. To understand that there is no default screen width any more - only a wide range of possible and not predictable page widths.

The magic word now is less, less KB for the images, less JavaScript on the client side, less bandwidth to deliver content, less knowledge about the screen size the content will be shown on etc.

Thanks David and Tim for your answers.

I just read Martin's comment in the tracker. The frontend team is actually discussing the "Element Libreary" and he is sure that it will be implemented in Moodle 2.7.

So I guess it would lead to waisted work when I/we start an approach of our own. It may be time to get involved when MoodleHQ has set up the module in Moodle 2.7 ...

Scott, yes, the Totara "Elelement Libraray" is involved into the discussion.

MoodleHQ has already investigated and I look for a way to start from the latest state and with the best chance to make collaborating as easy as possible.

If you are interested in the discussion so far you may check the tracker link above.

David and Tim,

I may have some time "between the years" to investigate into the "Element Library".

Can you propose which way would be best to start.

1. Would it be best to fork Moodle on Github and create a "Element Library" branch where everybody can contribute who is interested?
2. Or would it be better that everybody works on an own fork?

There has been a discussion about using an element library for Moodle and a "critical" tracker issue had been created. https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-36558#comment-261352

Has any progress been made with the decision or has the work on the project started?
