Connie Kleinjans commented on HADOOP-1066:
------------------------------------------
Learn About: I do like the idea of a documentation overview page with links to
the authoritative information. (I'd like to add more over time.) I'd also like
to see us change the navigation link to User Documentation to distinguish it
from the Developer link. How does that sound?
News vs Releases: On other sites, the News page (if it exists) lists things
like conference announcements, who's giving a talk where, media attention,
really big releases, calls to action. Could we eliminate it until we have such
announcements?
Install and configure: I'll update the link.
BTW, I don't have an easy way to mock up how the sections in the navigation
panel (on the left) open and close. It's a little counter intuitive that the
titles don't lead to a page. Not sure if that's locked in by Forrest or not.

> One of our tech writers has been looking at the state of Hadoop
> documentation, and suggests reworking the Hadoop front page to be more than
> just a release page (as it seems to be now).
> Especially in comparison with other other apache project pages, ours is
> uninviting to users unfamiliar with the premise of the project. She's
> suggesting updating the page to include more meta-information about the site,
> in addition to most of the links and news items currently on the page.
