Hi All (at ganglia-general):
I've been talking to Matt Massie about re-doing the Ganglia website
at http://ganglia.info/
We're open to any or all ideas at this point so feel free to chime in
with whatever comes to mind.
I actually like most aspects of the ganglia website. Even so, feeling
the need to chime in, I give these three requests:
* take the Main Menu to a top bar, and make it consistent across all
sections of the website. My biggest website gripe is consistency -
the entire site should have a consistent look-and-feel. A global menu
is one step towards this goal.
done.
* Fix the gmetric repository. There are a whole bunch of neat gmetrics
floating around, and several different versions of metrics that do
basically the same thing. I even went so far as to start my own
gmetric page because I didn't like most of the metrics there.
Modeling the gmetrics section after the Firefox extensions page would
be awesome - allow ratings to float the best to the top, but also
categorize so alternatives within a particular metric (say, taking
detailed disk metrics) are available.
i agree this need to be done but not sure the right way to do it i
like the wiki approach.. and i actually installed a wiki at
http://ganglia.info/wiki/ but it didn't get much traction with the
team maybe it needs to be revisited...
* Fix the Documentation section and add a FAQ, wiki style. There's a
lot of good info out there, but it's hard to get to. A nice section
of a wikiable FAQ would be complete sample configuraitons (actually
taken from practice that *really* work, rather than ways you should be
able to set it up... ;)
see above.
I realize that some ofthese things are rather grandiose in scope and I
hides face havn't actually offered my help.../hides face. What can
I say. Here's hoping for the best. :)
happy new year!
