Hi Igniters, IMO, new design looks good, but please pay attention - every mention of Apache Ignite is better to be followed by (R) mark since it is registered trademark of the ASF in the US and other countries. - download page is not available (as Denis mentioned it should not be an issue).
And one more side note: since 1) it is a major change in the site look and 2) our site is still stored in the SVN, could we consider migrating to Git repository first? Git benefits are more or less obvious: - It will allow us to make a PRs for contributions to the site. - Git repository is slightly more convenient. It works faster during clone, commit, and update. - It should help to recognize contributions from Mauricio and Ignacio and all other members, who updates and maintains the site (we don't have contributors listing page and we use git for listing of the project's developers). Sincerely, Dmitriy Pavlov BTW, since this is important topic, I suggest every email with proposal is marked with [DISCUSSION] to help it to be noticed. пт, 6 мар. 2020 г. в 03:21, Nikita Ivanov <nivano...@gmail.com>: > Denis - looks very nice!
