I see so you just left one box logo on the downloads page then? Not
the direction I would have hopped... and its still got that ugly
border... :-(

just to be sure, what is the "logo" you are talking about?
I'm talking about the Geronimo boxes as in http://cwiki.apache.org/
GMOxSITE/downloads.data/geronimo-box-1.1-small.jpg, this is a
unique image that is to be used only for the 1.1 release in this
case. Each image would be used only once, I can't see why
attaching that unique image file to a unique page is such a bad
thing.
This is the same box logo which I'm talking about.
I thought I had explained this already...
I give up. You do it how you want and if you end up copying the
image over and over I'll try to explain again later why duplicating
is bad.

If the images are attached to confluence and we export the space,
all the content gets exported. Hence we have a self contained copy
of the web site with very limited external dependencies, that is
for the actual downloads.
Even if we serve those images from svn we would still have to copy
every single one from site/trunk/art to site/trunk/docs/images
One additional tiny benefit on the attachment approach is that the
image served from confluence is approx 4 times smaller in size
compared to the one we have on svn. I know, I did that to make the
rendering a bit faster but my point is that we will still have to
do some additional steps either way, not only svn cp.
Now, if we want to serve all the static content from all our the
cwiki spaces directly from svn that's a different story.
Cheers!

not really, wasn't your point to have a unique image for each
release page? maybe I didn't understand
No, I want to have one box image in http://geronimo.apache.org/
images/ per version, and have each release page reference it
(like a normal web page would do).
man. Thats like saying that each page has the banner image
attached to it, though admittedly that is much worse, but its
along the same lines as what you are suggesting.
right, there is no point in copying the very same image over and
over again, so there is clearly a misunderstanding here.
Um... I'm confused... you said:
<snip>
I think we should be consistent in the way we manage the
attachments with confluence.
I rather have them attached to corresponding release page.
There are not that many to copy over anyway.

I read this as you want to have the images of the box log
attached to the corresponding release page, meaning each page has
a separate copy of the same logo. I'm not sure how I could have
read it any differently :-(
If we are going to use just one image (independent of the
Geronimo version) on each release page then we definitively
point to the same spot where we have the banners and logos on
the repo.
However, if we want to have for each release page a new Geronimo
box with a matching version number, then we should to attach
each of those images to the corresponding release page. This is
the approach I thought we were talking about. If we go this way
then we need to come up with a kind of standard way to create
that image, today we are missing 1.0 and 1.1.1.
Right, I don't think we need to have an image that matches the
exact version. I think that 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc... all use
the 1.1 logo, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, etc. all use the 2.0 logo, and
so on.
Ask Hiram to whip up a 1.0 version, he said it was relatively easy.
I don't think we want to have separate images for 2.0-m5, 2.0-m6,
2.0-m99, 2.0.1, etc, basically one image per major branch... else
we'd be asking Hiram to make new images all of the time ;-)
