Hi Fabian,
You should have provided those comments before, and your involvement
doesn't really change ;)
For the images, they are not necessary mean something (even if it's the
case here, but a bit subtitle true): just provide a better look'n feel.
Agree for the news, I will add swipe indications and a look to a regular
"archives" display.
Thanks,
Regards
JB

Hi,
I did not want to comment, but my new involvement with Karaf demands for it
:)
The only thing I do not like as much is the homepage/landingpage/startpage.
The 3 columns do not attract me. The content could be a bit catchier, but
most importantly, I think the graphics (rubix, gears, cloud) do not make
much sense connected to the text. I would rather remove the graphics.
The scrolling "news" scroll too fast. Or better: unpredictably. Sometimes
they seem to be stuck, sometimes they move very fast. I think I would
rather prefer to navigate the news manually. Edit: oh i can swipe it
manually, guess that needs some kind of indication.
Overall it is much nicer and modern than the old site. great work
Fabian

Hi Serge,
I applied your two proposals and updated the website on my server.
Just saw that, very cool !
It looks better to me as well (I don't see a huge change about
line-height, but border-radius is fine).
The line-height fixes the problem of the list on the home page under
“Projects” that has the lines too close together because the
line-height was set to 20px and the font-size is 18px, leaving only
2px between lines. Letting it back to its default fixes that problem.
The border-radius also makes it more consistent with the look of the
buttons that also have rounded corners.
Let’s vote now :) Let’s get this thing published :)
cheers,
Serge…
Morgan also requested to add more space bottom to the top menu.

I really like it but some little details have been bugging me, the
line spacing of lists. I looked at the CSS and noticed you have a
line-height: 20px set that seems very weird on the home page. I
tested by deactivating it (removing it) and it seems the default
setting works better on the pages I tested.
It’s really a detail though :)
I also tried adding a border-radius on the home page titles :
.homepage-subtitle, .homepage-title {
background: rgba(52,48,45,.8);
color: #f1f1f1;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}
I find it a little less rough but again that’s personal preference :)
cheers,
Serge…

Hi all,
I already discussed with some of you about my plan on Karaf
marketing.
I think clearly that we had a great project, a great team, a great
tool,
but we're not really good in term of promotion and marketing.
Especially, we have to be clear in the message and the projects
that we
deliver. For instance, again, I'm sure that karaf-boot is a huge step
forward in Karaf adoption. I'm not sure that all users are aware and
know the purpose of Cellar, Cave, Decanter, and even some Karaf
areas.
In order to improve the Karaf marketing area, I would like to propose
the following plan:
1. More professional website
I think we have to improve both the content and the look'n feel of
the
website.
In term of content, I think it makes sense to not emphasize on
OSGi. The
fact that Karaf runs OSGi is not really interesting for most of end
users (of course, it is for advanced/power users). We have to explain
that Karaf is modern and multi-purpose container. More over, with
karaf-boot, it becomes also a bootstrapper and "run anywhere"
paradigm
platform.
So, I started a new website, changing the look'n feel (to give a more
professional shape) and the content (changing the marketing message):
http://maven.nanthrax.net/goodies/karaf/site/
I will complete the website today (some cleanup, other pages than the
home one, etc), but it already gives you an idea.
2. New guides/documentation
I'm working on the improvement in term of content of the
documentation.
Especially, the dev guide will be more straight forward, providing
recipes for users.
All guides will use asciidoc now. You can already see the kind of
output
on the Decanter guide:
http://karaf.apache.org/manual/decanter/latest-1/index.html
All Karaf guides (and subprojects) will be rendered in a popup using
such look'n feel.
3. Meetups
I plan to organize a Karaf Meetup beginning of 2016. I have some
sponsors in mind. The purpose is to meet most of Karaf users,
devs, and
enthusiasts.
I will give you more details soon.
Thoughts ?
Regards
JB
