+0.5 I really like the graphics and general idea: that's for sure the way to go!
but before switching, there are some issues to fix, IMHO: - "Whereas the old pages were basic, the new ones have kind of an unusual dark theme to them and look unpolished (vs. just plain as the old one)" (copy/paste of another feedback that perfectly summarised a feeling I could not express better) - can we have a link to source? how can we submit patches? how can we test for ourselves improvement ideas before submitting patches? This is really a good start, but IMHO, if we don't have community involved in updates, this new site will loose a great opportunity to have contributors (unless it is a choice to avoid contributors) - why doesn't this use the CMS for some classical pages? Should not some parts of the old site be added to the new graphic content? While graphics and generated content are great, I think that some handwritten content would be useful (to explain where data come from, for example, or what happened to DOAP, or how to contribute...) - the idea of online editing is great, but not knowing what happens behind the scene, I fear to add sub-projects: what sub-projects should be added? can sub- projects be removed if the addition gives unexpected result? - what should we do with DOAP? Did I miss some explanations on private@ or dev@ ML from a project I'm working on? Please take this feedback as constructive feedback: I really like the new site, just need some little improvements to get out of beta and make a public release :) Regards, Hervé Le vendredi 6 mars 2015 11:52:35 Rich Bowen a écrit : > I'd like for us to go ahead and replace projects.apache.org with > projects-new.apache.org.
