Hi Brett, Good stuff :o)
Some general comments: - IMHO, the array "Get Maven 2.0.4" on the front page is too squeeze - the issue tracking page MPA is not really useful from an user point of view - CI page needs to be reviewed - I dont like "Index (category)" in the doc but I have no suggestion ;) Cheers, Vincent 2006/11/3, Brett Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.
