+1 from me.
Aside from the IP issues that I am sure we will solve, the design is
great and I love the fact that we will switch to Confluence for site
updates. And yes, at this stage we are voting whether to accept the
design template. If and when we do, we'll start the actual work
setting up the confluence space.
Thanks Bruce and Ari for the awesome work!

Some time ago on the user list there was a discussion about
improvements to the Cayenne web site, and a new design. Over the
break, most of the remaining issues have been addressed and tests
performed on getting this to work with Confluence, between Bruce
Martin, Andrus and myself.
Please look at the following demo site:
http://www.brucemartin.net/cayenne/
Please note the following:
1. Cayenne has left incubator status and therefore the logo in the
top right will be replaced and the message at the bottom will be
removed
2. The copy on the page and the menus to the left are not set in
stone and not the subject of this vote. They can be changed at any
time by Cayenne committers with the appropriate access rights to
Confluence.
3. The site will be deployed within the Atlassian Confluence wiki.
The demo site is purely static, since Confluence has no way to
create a test staging area. However we did testing with a secondary
offline copy of Confluence and it works as expected. There may be
further effort involved in getting the new stories to display as
shown but this needs to be done as part of the deployment process.
You can see the test staging area here http://wiki.objectstyle.org/
auto-export/CAYSCRATCH/ but note there are still some cosmetic
problems there which require clean up. But it works. The edit pages
are here http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence-scratch/ and will
not be styled as part of this work.
4. Since ish is based in Sydney where Atlassian are located, and as
an existing paid customer of theirs, we've already made extensive
use of their support services.
I'd like to ask for votes on this design, remembering that the vote
is on the design and concept rather than specific menu structure.
I'll start with a non-binding +1 from me.
The external costs of this work has been sponsored by ish and
myself, since the design has been created and implemented by a
professional web designer who I've engaged, in conjunction with my
own copywriting and design ideas as well as Andrus's guidance.
If we receive a positive vote outcome, then we will proceed to fix
the remaining cosmetic problems with the Confluence integration and
put the new site live.
