Responding to some issues that people have with the layout of the current forrest-based website.
[1] http://people.apache.org/~crossley/incubator-forrest/ If you want me to implement any of these immediately then say so. Get rid of PDF -------------- There was a PDF generated for every page. The idea was that with complex process documentation people need to print it to be able to read, comprehend, tick it, show/file a paper copy, etc. A upcoming version of Forrest (probably not next) will enable per-page PDFs rather than all-or-none. The PDF button at top-right is now removed. The Print button remains. Get rid of Tabs --------------- There were four Tabs: Home - this still remains. Projects - All current projects were listed down the left. This was superfluous and also meant that generated html pages changed when a new project was added. Gone now. Learn - The beginnings of some general documentation. Gone now. I reckon that we should intead point to www.a.o/dev/ documents. Whiteboard - just pointed to Wiki. Gone now. Just have a link in the main navigation. Hidden items in left-hand navigation ------------------------------------ Incubation policy documents were hidden in collapsed left-hand menus. This is a distinct lack with Forrest. By default these groups of items are shown collapsed, and only open when you select it or visit of the group's pages. Will to Forrest issue tracker. Needs a "collapse" attribute. The workaround is to bung them all in the About group. Get rid of W3C html/css compliance logos ---------------------------------------- Done. Change the logo and banner -------------------------- Can be done, but not done yet. Get rid of the swathes of blue bars ----------------------------------- Could do some minor tweaks, remove breadcrumb trail, reduce footer, change colours. Not done yet. Also Ross has the beginnings of another theme to enable a bland look, if needed. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
