Yes, I just generated enough of the site to show the front-page and generally how things look as generating the full site takes a long time. -David smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: Potential new home page
I think it has to do with "minimal and iterate slowly". Also like the new design. Quite refreshing and on time with the compatible part we just accomplished. -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com On Thu, May 20, 2021 at 10:01 AM Zowalla, Richard < richard.zowa...@hs-heilbronn.de> wrote: > Hi, > > looks good :) > > I like the new clean download page with the information about runtime, > certification, namespaces and EE level. > > I have some (really, really minor) comments related to the staging > website and some questions regarding the workflow. > > ## Staging Website Comments: > > - Documentation is empty / seems to be broken on the staging > environment.

Re: Potential new home page
Hi, looks good :) I like the new clean download page with the information about runtime, certification, namespaces and EE level. I have some (really, really minor) comments related to the staging website and some questions regarding the workflow. ## Staging Website Comments: - Documentation is empty / seems to be broken on the staging environment. Is this intentional? - In addition, we should change all out going links to "https" instead of "http" (as the ASF pages have no redirect from "http" to "https" in place) + enable the "http" to "https" redirect for the TomEE site - but these are very minor tasks imho :) - Maybe we should remove Google+ from the Social Media section, if anybody agrees. Imho it is a _dead_ social media network. - "Support" links to "Commercial", which is a dead page (404) - Don't know if "IRC" is still active or if we should mention Slack instead on the "Support" page. I can give it some love, if no one objects, but I have some workflow related questions left. ## Workflow Questions: - Does the https://github.com/apache/tomee-site-generator repo already contain the changes @ staging? - How does the staging publish work? From the other mailing list thread, I see, that we have a Jenkins job [1] for the main site in place. Might be useful to have one for staging too? - After this is clarified, we should update the README to explain the new workflow for (new) contributors. (I can do this) ## Overall - very nice improvements! I really like it!

Re: Potential new home page
This looks great, thank you for all the efforts improving the website over the years to keep it even more relevant. Iterating over this sounds like the best approach.
