+1 to Henry's, Tommaso's and Tsuy's post. Let's go with static html files and use Clerezza in a second step.
Every additional day the current site is up and running is a lost day as we simply do not attract new developers to join. -----Original Message----- From: Henry Story [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Donnerstag, 17.

This is a bit above my knowledge here, but I'd suggest that static pages are excellent for documentation, and that is what is perhaps most needed for new developers to come along. The backend logic for that is so simple, it could easily be done in a wiki even. Once done it can always be slurped into Clerezza and republished there it seems to me. It could even be a useful module to have: if Apache is used to publishing sites a certain way, then a module that used input generated that way, with a bit of rdfa markup perhaps, would make for an easy transition. The pages here https://incubator.apache.org/clerezza/spike/ look very good. We should at some point develop a module where html developers need to know nothing at all about clerezza in order to generate templates that they can use. This is the thinking that led to projects such as - Enhydra XMLC [1] (2000->) - apache wicket [2] - lift scala library [3] What would be useful would be to tune the experience gained form those and see how the semantic web could add a further improvement to them. But in any case if html devs want to make beautiful pages, the experience of those frameworks is that what they produce has to be html.
