Guys, There are a couple of things about the site that have been bugging me. I wanted to run some ideas by you and see what you think. Since I can commit now, I can take care of them once we come to a consensus. :-)
-- One -- On the "Project Team" pages, the "Actual Time" column is wrong for most of us. For those of us in the United States, it's one hour behind. Only for Remko is it right. For example, at 17:38:55 Central Time, here is what it said for all of us: Ralph: Sat May 11 2013 14:38:55 GMT-0500 (CDT) (it's actually 15:38 there) Gary: Sat May 11 2013 17:38:55 GMT-0500 (CDT) (it's actually 18:38 there) Scott: Sat May 11 2013 14:38:55 GMT-0500 (CDT) (it's actually 15:38 there) Remko: Sun May 12 2013 07:38:55 GMT-0500 (CDT) (the time is correct) Me: Sat May 11 2013 16:38:55 GMT-0500 (CDT) (it's actually 17:38 here) Not only is the time wrong for four of us, but they ALL say GMT-0500 (CDT), which is obviously incorrect for all of us except me. I did some looking around at other Maven-generated sites, and the problem seems to be the same on all of them. Wrong for people on Daylight Savings Time, and always displaying the wrong time zone for everyone: http://maven.apache.org/team-list.html http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/11/team-list.html This appears to be a problem with the Maven plugin itself, not with our site. The time appears to be calculated dynamically using JavaScript after the page loads. Is anyone aware of any bug reports anywhere concerning this issue? If not, I'll file a bug. -- Two -- On the "Project Team" pages, I suggest we remove the Roles column. Remko is the only one with any data in that column, and I think that makes it look like he doesn't contribute as much as the rest of us. Remko has contributed more than just what's listed in that column. Is everyone okay with removing that column? -- Three -- On the "Project Team" pages, none of us have images. I suggest we either add images for all of us or remove the column (as it's taking up unnecessary space). Remko already has an image URL in the POM, but it's commented out. I'm all for images, personally, but what do y'all think? -- Four -- The first item I visited the Log4j2 site, the "Download" and "Build and Install" links confused me. The Download page contained links to download the assembly JAR ... makes sense. But no Maven information. The "Build and Install" page contained Maven information, which was counter-intuitive, but worse the Maven information was BELOW information about building and installing, so you don't actually see it unless you scroll down. "Using Log4j on your classpath" is also on the "Build and Install" page, but it makes more sense (to me) on the "Download" page, as you only need that information if you're manually downloading the binaries. My suggestion: - "Download" contains what it does now plug "Using Log4j on your classpath" (moved from the "Build and Install" page). - New page "Maven and Ivy" contains all of the Maven and Ivy information from the "Build and Install" page. - "Build and Install" gets renamed to "Build" and contains only information about building Log4j Thoughts?
