Thanks to everybody who came up with idea for improvement!

I'm going to start implementing this now. To start out in an agile way, I will put this into the Maven site. That way we can easily change things and just push out a new site.

When we have settled in on what we want I'll start moving it over to a parent.

Excellent work Dennis!
About the "Maven projects" list, I think maven 2 should be in first to
improve the usability.

I doubt it will make things more usable. I find that ordering stuff alphabetically is more accessible that having them ordered by "importance". Simply because what is important to you might not be important to the next guy.

Also accessing the main Maven site, which is where you'd go when you click on "Maven 2", will be easily accessible from the breadcrumbs at all times.

Agreed. However, personally I'd drop Maven 1.x from the list and rename Maven 2 to Maven.



In this case, wdyt to put a list with expanded sub projects (not sure
about the rendering)

Not sure I follow you here. Do you mean we should turn each sub project's menu item into an expandable menu? If so, what would the menu items of that menu be?

Maybe for shared components and plugins this would make some sense?

Last bit of feedback from me: I think the jump out arrows are erroneous.

Thanks Dennis!

OK, listening to the suggestions and coming up with a second attempt:

Feedback still wanted: negative or positive.

+1, moving the "Maven Projects" out of the breadcrumbs scales better
with
increasing project number.


My current work has breadcrumbs to the right of the publish date and
version.

Agree with Vincent, I would prefer to have the publish date and
version on
the right such that the breadcrumbs are the first item that meets the
eye.
BTW, the Maven main site shows a version (1.0), shouldn't we remove
that?
It seems irrelevant to the reader and might also be confusing (if
you're
looking for Maven 2.x and not 1.0).

Thanks Dennis, really looking forward to the next Site Plugin.

It shouldn't be long now. If all goes well this weekend.
