Ok, I'm done. Sorry to be impatient, but I felt like I had unfinished
business after creating that branch, and it is a Friday afternoon :)
So, what I've done:
- rolled back the CSS/site.vm changes. My suggestions for moving them
both forward again are in the commit log (there's good stuff in
there, especially the javascript menu expansion, but I think we need
to be a bit more careful with the CSS given the backlash).
- merged my changes from the branch. Eric and I were converging on
fair similar concepts for the navigation so I've merged them. Feel
free to discuss moving them around some more.
- applied my changes to the front page. I think this part is a vast
improvement
- put some very basic links into the 'documentation centres'. This
needs more work in terms of trails to guide people through scenarios,
and cookbooks.
- deployed the site.
What I have left to do:
- I have a big load of notes on stuff I wanted to do/feedback in the
dev@ threads that were still to be done. I'll go through them in the
near future and get them into JIRA. There are some other notes in the
"docs-required" section of the site. Ideally, between JIRA and the
wiki, we could have all the brainstorming and stuff to do so people
could jump in more easily.
I think the structure we have now is pretty good and conducive to
those with a doc focus being able to add docs in a way that they can
be seen. The next key thing will be assembling the cookbooks so that
wiki content can be pulled in easily and so people can comment/edit
the site without submitting patches (keeping the site basically for
the structure since wikis suck for that).
I think we still need to work on the visuals, particularly in the
middle of the page to make those key progressions more obvious.
Thoughts?

Time to roll back the recent CSS changes. I'll look into it shortly.

An utterly useless observation I know, but are you guys "trying"
to make the
site look worse on purpose?
Compare: http://maven.apache.org

Duplicate of (original maven theme): http://tapestry.apache.org
Just thought I'd say something cause it was so noticeable..
