everyone, I've committed a visual redesign of the website in jakarta-avalon/src/proposal/site. what's there is a html mockup and an anakia site.vsl file, along with some test code to verify the vsl file actually compiles.
I tried to change the .xsl files cocoon uses, but gave up after an hour of reading about how it works and being no nearer a solution. In my evaluation, cocoon is something that can be used to build arbitrily large sites (and a wonderful package it is!), not something very suitable for small sites, like we have. Since anakia is not what we use for our site, I'm not throwing this design up for a vote, as I don't have time to figure out how to get it all to work with cocoon. It would be very nice if someone proficient with cocoon could do so, and I'm very willing to provide assistance. Note that the mockup html file has a different menu structure from the current site. Please pay no attention to this; while I do think we might need some re-ordering, this is not part of the proposal at hand. Also, I've tried to incorporate all previous comments. The breadcrumb trail is generated using javascript, hence it produces funny results when used locally. The fix is to either patch anakia or generate is using cocoon; I suspect cocoon has some smart way to do this, I don't know where to find it though. Finally, I am moving some of my own projects over to maven, which I found works rather nicely. I find myself in favor of moving avalon to it as well, so if there is suddenly overwhelming support for that, we could also not migrate the xsl files. (just a thought). cheers, - Leo Simons -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
