Looks better, but I agree that the left nav is too long.. It's almost
overwhelming, I am not sure where to look...
So, some suggestions in no specific order:
1) Getting Maven and Getting Started seem like they should be the same
thing? I can't get started with out getting maven, and if I already have
Maven, I probably don't need the installation instructions.
2) Using Maven and Reference seem like they could be in the same section,
and be collapsed submenus? Or, maybe just move some things:
- Sharing Plugins doesn't seem like a reference thing, but more of a
Using
Maven thing
- Uploading to Ibiblio seems like part of "Working with Repositories"..
- Alternatively, what if a different breakdown:
Instructions
Plugins
Projects
Repositories
Command Line
and then put each section under there. Then, expose in the top level
the
Plugins/Projects/Repositories/Command Line, but make them each a collapsed
menu that opens.. More of a "topic" oriented organization.
3) I like the Related Projects section, I think it is key. However, the
Maven Project heading seems to repeat the site.. Could you remove that and
relocate Maven-Plugins under something else? That would save some space.
4) Move Maven Developers as a submenu of Project Documentation. Folks who
care about project docs will also care about the stuff under Maven
Developers..
5) Move news and maven-blogs up.. People like to see that stuff when
evaluating a new project.
Just a couple suggestions, the docs are looking better!
