Shane Curcuru closed COMDEV-187. -------------------------------- Resolution: Unresolved Close old Allura GSOC issues per brondsem. > Allura - better root page and initial impressions > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COMDEV-187 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-187 > Project: Community Development > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas > Reporter: Dave Brondsema > Labels: gsoc2016, python, ux > > In a new Allura installation, the landing page is not very useful. It shows > a defunct category system on the left menu and the body of the page is just a > list of the "neighborhoods" (which you can browse into to find projects). > This is not great initial impression. > The categories should be removed, and the main page content should be > customizable. Some design research and brainstorming will be necessary to > determine what it should be. Maybe raw HTML that site admins can set, maybe > a standard allura wiki page. Maybe an option to redirect to a "main" project > within the site. Maybe the root is its own special project, allowing admins > to choose between a wiki page, forum, tracker, etc - plus let them have other > tools at the top level. > This probably will not take the full GSoC time and the student should plan on > other improvements to make the Allura site easier for people to use and > customize.
