Hi all,

Kathy Sierra was head of Java training at Sun and co-founder of the Head
First series of books at O'Reilly. She was and is very opinionated about
how people learn. See http://www.headfirstlabs.com/readme.php . In
particular:

"We use *people*. In stories, examples, pictures, etc., because, well,
because *you're* a person. And your brain pays more attention to people
than it does to things."

The first thing people should see should be something they can relate to.
People, or in OFBiz terms, Parties. Next best are products - they are
tangible. Accounting should not be the first thing people see. It only
makes sense to count the money after we've earned it.

Cheers

Paul

Re: New Website Branch Created

2017-07-30 Thread Jacques Le Roux 

Hi Sharan,

First congrats for the excellent work. I think we are ready to replace the old 
site. I have not checked all yet, but yes, we can do once online...

I agree with Taher about "The three main pitches". I'd prefer links, we can refer to 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+Stories a sole and same link from all points should be enough


For the FAQ page we can expand it later. For now I'd simply add a link to the 
wiki page, of course we can clean it up...

For demos, why do you prefer a link to accounting than product (catalog webapp) as we did before (David did it long ago)? BTW developers, was catalog 
the best place?


Do we say a word about plugins (did not find anything)?

|For ML page, what about our policy? Is it, should it be, somewhere else? Should we not 
add a link to Bertrand's "|Large Mailing Lists Survival Guide|"?

Don't we lose something about the news? Like we have a short FAQ page, could we 
not have a short News page for at least last releases short information?

Don't we miss a link to the official (and required) http://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html page? Is 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html not required too?


Do we have a link to HipChat? Though I'm not sure it's a good idea :D

Thanks!

Jacques

Thanks Taher and Pranay

Initial feedback from Kenneth is that a couple of the images look a bit out of 
place so I've asked for his suggestions for improving that.
Also he is preparing some images of OFBiz screenshots that we can use on the 
site so I'd like to get at least those changes in before publishing.

I've noted your feedback and agree these are good points that can improve the 
site so will look at those. If I can incorporate some before publishing then I 
will, otherwise we can do it as an ongoing thing once the new site is up.

Thanks
Sharan

Thank you very much Sharan. The website looks really beautiful! my
recommendation is to go ahead and publish it immediately and we can
start to fix things as we go.

Some notes for things to work on later:
- The three main pitches should be either without a link, or a link to
relevant documentation (I'm referring to: "Powerful Java Web
Framework", "Developer Friendly", etc ...)
- The FAQ needs to be expanded, maybe we can get stuff from the
original FAQ documentation after we clean it up [1]
- We need to find a more appealing solution for the social media
links. I believe they should be in the top as icons instead of links
in the footer. I think the template used already has a solution for
this but I need to review it at some point.

Hi Everyone

I've pretty much completed what I think could be an initial version of our new 
website so please feel free to take a look and let me have any feedback. (Just 
for info - all the pictures I've used are from Pixabay.com and are free to use 
and don't need any attribution)

It would be good to have some sample OFBiz pictures (and community feedback 
supported this too - instead of the all generic ones) especially on the home 
page so I have contacted Kenneth Paskett who has helped with the graphic design 
so far, to ask for a little more help doing that.  So once that is done, 
pending any other feedback, I think we could be ready to publish.

Thanks
Sharan

+1 for switching the website to the new one and completing it as we go.

We should try to automate publishing the website. One solution is to
publish the website as is. Another solution is to restructure the
website so that only the "generated" stuff gets published to the
server. So the directory structure could be something like the below.
And then we can have commands like ./gradlew generateHtml or ./gradlew
publishHtml

Hi Michael

I like the idea (I'd been looking at an all or nothing approach :-) so just
putting the minimum we need live is OK with me. I have some changes in
progress for the main page, so will commit those tomorrow.
