| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Vision |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 47 | + Together, we make <strong>HTML semantically accessible using reusable Web Components</strong> to ensure{' '} |
| 48 | + <strong>usability</strong> and <strong>accessibility</strong>. |
| 49 | +</p> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Mission |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 54 | + The <KolLink _label="HTML web standard" _href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org" _target="_blank" /> is specified to be very "open" in order to be as durable and robust as possible. It therefore often happens that HTML compositions are not readily accessible, semantic and valid. |
| 55 | + <KoliBri /> builds directly on the <KolLink _label="W3C" _href="https://www.w3.org" _target="_blank"/> |
| 56 | + <KolLink _label="web standards" _href="https://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/" _target="_blank" /> (framework-agnostic), is thereby a generic reference implementation of the |
| 57 | + <KolLink _label="WCAG standard" _href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/" _target="_blank" /> and |
| 58 | + <KolLink _label="BITV" _href="https://www.bitvtest.de/bitv_test.html" _target="_blank" /> for accessibility, and is implemented as a multi-theme-enabled presentation layer. There is no technical reference and |
| 59 | + no data transfer functionalities. This makes <KoliBri /> equally reusable for the realization of static websites as |
| 60 | + well as dynamic web applications of different corporate designs and style guides and thus very interesting for open |
| 61 | + source. |
| 62 | +</p> |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Collaboration and cooperation |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +<p> |
| 67 | + The <strong>focus</strong> of <KoliBri /> is on <strong>small</strong> (atomic), very <strong>flexible</strong> and |
| 68 | + well <strong>reusable</strong> HTML compositions (e.g. button). We provide an accessible, semantic and valid standard |
| 69 | + implementation of such components that can be reused for any higher-level HTML structure or component (molecule, |
| 70 | + organism or template). |
| 71 | +</p> |
| 72 | +<p> |
| 73 | + We should <strong>collaborate</strong> and <strong>cooperate</strong> on these atomic components in order to bundle |
| 74 | + our skills and knowledge. Through the synergy effects at the basic components, our own focus can be placed more on |
| 75 | + subject-specific content. |
| 76 | +</p> |
| 77 | +<p> |
| 78 | + Let <strong>us</strong> make <KoliBri /> <strong>better</strong> and more <strong>colorful</strong>{' '} |
| 79 | + <strong>together</strong>! |
| 80 | +</p> |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## License |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 85 | + <KoliBri /> is released under the <strong>EUROPEAN UNION PUBLIC LICENCE v1.2</strong> open source. The following |
| 86 | + aspects are in particular thereby considered: |
| 87 | + <ul> |
| 88 | + <li> |
| 89 | + <strong>Making accessible</strong>: The artifacts and source code can be reused freely and without charge by |
| 90 | + anyone. In this way, the ITZBund makes a contribution in the sense of <KolLink _label="“Public Money – Public Code”" _href="https://publiccode.eu/" _target="_blank" />. |
| 91 | + </li> |
| 92 | + <li> |
| 93 | + <strong>Warranty and liability disclaimer</strong>: No warranty or liability claims are associated with the reuse. |
| 94 | + </li> |
| 95 | + <li> |
| 96 | + <strong>“Copyleft” clause</strong>: Copyleft states that any copy of <KoliBri /> (fork) must be re-released under |
| 97 | + the same or a compatible open-source license. |
| 98 | + </li> |
| 99 | + </ul> |
| 100 | +</p> |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## Delimitation |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 105 | + To use <KoliBri /> correctly, it is important to know where it unleashes its potential. <KoliBri /> is reusable in |
| 106 | + many ways because the styling has been completely decoupled and rendering is possible client-side but also |
| 107 | + server-side. |
| 108 | +</p> |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Styling |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 113 | + <KoliBri /> is neither a CSS framework nor a design system, but a library of frequently used components that have |
| 114 | + accessibility and usability requirements. To avoid having to look at these requirements over and over again,{' '} |
| 115 | + <KoliBri /> uses Web Components to create an overarching uniform standard for all style guides here. |
| 116 | +</p> |
| 117 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 118 | + The more relevant components are found and implemented, the more value is added to all web-based projects. However,{' '} |
| 119 | + <KoliBri /> does not aim to implement components without accessibility and usability requirements. Standard HTML and |
| 120 | + CSS or alternative CSS frameworks can be used for this purpose. |
| 121 | +</p> |
| 122 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 123 | + <KolAlert _type="success" _variant="card"> |
| 124 | + <KoliBri /> components can be seamlessly integrated into existing websites or web applications and provide their |
| 125 | + style (guide) themselves, encapsulating it almost completely from the outside. |
| 126 | + </KolAlert> |
| 127 | +</p> |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +### Rendering |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 132 | + Web components can be rendered on the client side (CSR), prerendered (SSG), or on the server side (SSR). The rendering |
| 133 | + depends on the respective technical framework conditions (<KolLink _label="https://web.dev" _href="https://web.dev/rendering-on-the-web/" _target="_blank" />, <KolLink _label="https://medium.com" _href="https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/compare-and-contrast-csr-ssr-and-ssg-in-nextjs-58e3caf2e15e" _target="_blank" />). |
| 134 | +</p> |
| 135 | +<p> |
| 136 | + <KolAlert _type="info" _variant="card"> |
| 137 | + <small> |
| 138 | + 💡 It should be noted that Web Components is a JavaScript-based web standard. Server-side rendering allows the Web |
| 139 | + Component to be rendered for optimal display speed on the client. If client-side JavaScript is allowed, the full |
| 140 | + dynamics of the Web Component are also available client-side. However, if you want to avoid using JavaScript on |
| 141 | + the client side, the Web Component is rendered, but the dynamics are lost. |
| 142 | + </small> |
| 143 | + </KolAlert> |
| 144 | + <br /> |
| 145 | + <KolAlert _type="info" _variant="card"> |
| 146 | + <small> |
| 147 | + 🧪 Server-side rendering of Web Components is an exciting new functionality where adjustments to the prerenderer |
| 148 | + will still be necessary and is therefore classified as experimental on our part (<KolLink _label="https://web.dev" _href="https://web.dev/declarative-shadow-dom/" _target="_blank" />). |

| 153 | +## Versioning |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 156 | + <KoliBri /> follows the principles of semantic versioning. |
| 157 | +</p> |
| 158 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 159 | + <strong>Structure</strong> of a version: |
| 160 | + <ul> |
| 161 | + <li> |
| 162 | + It usually consists of 3 parts (e.g. 1.0.2) |
| 163 | + <ul> |
| 164 | + <li> |
| 165 | + Major, here the <i>1</i> |
| 166 | + </li> |
| 167 | + <li> |
| 168 | + Minor, here the <i>0</i> |
| 169 | + </li> |
| 170 | + <li> |
| 171 | + Patch, here the <i>2</i> |
| 172 | + </li> |
| 173 | + </ul> |
| 174 | + </li> |
| 175 | + <li> |
| 176 | + For the release phase of a version, you can use additional labels (e.g. 1.0.3-rc.2) |
| 177 | + <ul> |
| 178 | + <li> |
| 179 | + Label, here the <i>rc.2</i> |
| 180 | + </li> |
| 181 | + </ul> |
| 182 | + </li> |
| 183 | + </ul> |
| 184 | +</p> |
| 185 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 186 | + The following <strong>main principles</strong> are applied: |
| 187 | + <ul> |
| 188 | + <li> |
| 189 | + <b>Patch</b>: Includes changes that improve the current functionality and do not change its use. |
| 190 | + </li> |
| 191 | + <li> |
| 192 | + <b>Minor</b>: Includes changes that extend the functional scope and do not change the existing functional scope in |
| 193 | + its use. |
| 194 | + </li> |
| 195 | + <li> |
| 196 | + <b>Major</b>: Includes changes that enable architectural realignment and are allowed to change the use of the |
| 197 | + existing feature set. |
| 198 | + </li> |
| 199 | + </ul> |
| 200 | + You can find the complete description of the SemVer here: <KolLink _href="https://semver.org" _target="_blank" /> |

| 208 | +<WelcomeQualityTable lang="en" /> |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +## Device, operating system, browser and screen reader requirements |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +<p className="col-12"> |
| 213 | + <KoliBri /> is intended for the implementation of any web-based user interfaces and should be able to be used on all |
| 214 | + modern devices (PC, tablet, mobile), operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS) and standards-compliant |
| 215 | + browsers. |
| 216 | + <br /> |
| 217 | + Microsoft Internet Explorer is explicitly not supported in order not to weaken the project and the development by |
| 218 | + legacy. Instead, <KoliBri /> consistently invests in the future. |
