Hi Clay,
http://xmlgraphics.staging.apache.org/
As mentioned, there are likely missing things (like java-docs,
download.cgi, Batik's DEMO, etc.)... It'd be great if folks could take
a look... I haven't figured out how to add other content, but It Might
Just Work(tm) if weupload it there via SVN...
Many thanks for working on this.
Come to think of it, we should probably move this to
gene...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
<mailto:gene...@xmlgraphics.apache.org>. Or is there a better mailing
list? I'll refrain from sending to other lists, until we figure out
where it should go.
Any ideas where this discussion should move, since it entails changes
to all XML Graphics Project web docs?
Yes this discussion should move to general@ as it will affect all sub
projects of XML Graphics.
Thanks,
Chris
Kind regards,
Clay Leeds

We're still missing an adequate navigation system, so I did a
preliminary job of getting a few links in the sidenav, but it's
incomplete and ugly as sin. We'll need to build a mechanism to
hide (collapse?) non-relevant links, but that shouldn't be too hard.
We also need to figure out java-docs, download.cgi, and perhaps
some other issues...
Without further ado:

However, presumably the current xdocs would need to be
converted to MD, in which case someone will need to construct
an XSLT to do so. That begs the question of whether it would
be necessary (at this time) to convert the source format to
MD, or if an additional step in the CMS based process could
merely perform that step automatically. If so, then it should
not be necessary to change the authoring format at this time.
It could be done as a separate step later.
I am using Forrest 0.8 w markdown plugin. Conversion could be
scripted, but that would negate the benefit of the CMS.

as an XML based source. But do we lose anything of

One of my goals, was to see some discussion in the DEVers,
before I complete the task of converting the docs. The
MarkDown format is not nearly as semantic as xdoc, but it
serves a different purpose.
It'll take some time, and I'm still prepared to take it on.
But I was hoping for some discussion ;-)
