Design 2 looks pretty clean and professional. How many graphics are
required to realize it?
Also, is there a firm requirement to have all projects listed in the side
bar of the page? That list has to be really confusing to people visiting
for the first time. In fact I'd almost say the current website is hostile
to people who don't already know what they're looking for. Maybe this has
already been suggested but it seems a simple project link that goes to a
page where things can be better broken down and classified might be better.
The project page could then make things clearer by breaking down
something like this.
XML Parser
Description of what it is and why there are two available.
Xerces
Short blurb on why you'd use Xerces
Java 1 and 2 with description of why both are significant.
C++
Perl
Crimson
Short blurb on why you'd use crimson
XSL-T Processor
Xalan
Java
C++
Publishing
Cocoon
FOP
Xang? Not sure where this belongs
Web Services
SOAP
Axis
UDDI
XML Database
Xindice
Graphics
Batik
Security
XML Security
Each section and each individual project should have a short blurb about
what it is, why you would use it and especially why there is more then one
project to do the same thing in some areas. At the top of the page you can
have links to each of the sections.
Another possibility if we still wanted more detail in the side bar, would
be to provide links based on the categories rather then project names.
