Nice. From what I see, reusing it to rebuild the consultants page in the Italian website (the one Roberto was talking about) would require almost no changes, right? Then we could use the same technology to revive that page too, or actually rebuild it from scratch, since it was already so outdated that we had removed the most prominent links to it. The XML schema would stay the same (i.e., use English names for elements), translating it would be an unnecessary burden.
5) Once approved, we go live. The legacy project buried this under the "support" page, but I think we should offer a more prominent location, perhaps a link on the home page.
The recommendations at http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/linking ask to avoid "prominent links to third party services or products on the homepage", but since the homepage link will lead to the listing, and the listing will still be on our site and will contain a well-crafted disclaimer, I see no problems with it.
Note: this same approach (Submission instructions page + XML/XSLT to generate user-facing XHTML page) would also work very nicely for a CD Distributor listing page. It should be possible to copy this approach
Indeed. Regards, Andrea.
