Agreed on the width of the main page content.
Additionally, I think the (sub)headers took a step back in terms of
readability. The new stuff tends to run together without an emphasis on
the individual sections. The old CSS rules added some underlining
beneath header elements IIRC.
Compare

to http://accumulo.apache.org/notable_features.html
Doing something to better separate the sections would be good. Not
entirely sure I want to suggest going back the long stippled lines, but
they certainly did make the separation easier to process.

That's easy to do, yes. Bootstrap uses a 12-column grid system, so we can
squeeze the body into a smaller portion of that grid. We can also set
margins.
Another idea, of course, is to use some of that horizontal space for side
column content.

Is there an easy (and global) way to shrink the width? Long lines of text

Greetings all,
The reworked / Twitter Bootstrap version of our site is now viewable:
http://people.apache.org/~bhavanki/accumulo-bootstrapped/
The site is built from the Subversion branch:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/accumulo/site/branches/redesign14/
Now is a great time for anyone who wants to pitch in to get started. Some
ideas:
- Check that the pages still look decent after the conversion.
- Ensure that all pages can still be navigated to and from correctly.
- Rework a page with some Bootstrap enhancements, or to just look better.
- Update a page to account for changes to the live site since the branch
was created. (Of course we'll sync up just before switching.)
As long as you save changes to Subversion, I can update my hosted copy to
reflect them. Or, set up the ASF CMS in your own environment for quick
testing.
We are definitely on target for releasing this site update with the 1.6.0
release. Thanks again for your past and future feedback.
Bill H

Thanks Al!
I managed to set up the CMS tool in a VM and use it to build our
current
site, as Josh suggested. If anyone else wants to do the same, these
instructions should work for installing the CMS - I found the README
to
be
a bit lacking.
http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html#local-build
I worked around the issue of there being lots of absolute URLs in the
site by running this in the generated content dir and navigating to
localhost:8000 in the browser:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Unless I hear any objections, I'll create a branch for the
bootstrapped
version of the site, and I'll kick it off with my prototype stuff.

I am using Twitter Bootstrap at work for about 2 years now... it is

Twitter Bootstrap. The site is not js heavy, so Twitter Bootstrap
would
be
a nice addition to it. Let me know if you need help.

My comment was in context of maintaining a separate branch that we
could
work on and have staged separately to avoid holding the production
site in
stasis while we work on this.

I use the bookmarklet to edit pages in my web browser.
