I started working on the site this weekend. Spent most of my time upgrading to the latest version of bootstrap, the framework that the site is built, and integrating a twitter feed and Google Analytics. I will push it live when all is finished.
As Dan already mentioned it would be nice to have a dynamic "News" section. The ASF CMS does not include an integrated blog/news feature as far as I can see. There is a separate Apache blog site which hosts the Isis blog [1] but I have no idea how to integrate this into the site. Does somebody has some bright ideas how to integrate an (RSS) feed in a static site? Otherwise we have to add news to the site manually.
