IMO, I think we should drop the top-tabs, and just implement a nav
similar to what activemq has for the breadcumbs -> links bar between
the header and content.

you mean the shaded frame box? I think the difficult part will be
the resizing in the css. Creating the graphics should be pretty
simple.

Can you find out where the ActiveMQ folks got that sexy box image
from? I'd *love* to have a nice box like that (g-styled of
course) for our page too :-)

Hey Jason,
I'm trying to catch up with the News/blog-posts on GMOxSITE as
part of the web site update. I created a few tests (added News)
but these posts take forever to show up. Any suggestions?
Anyway, do you have any idea how could we port the *News* we have
on the live site?
Cheers!

Folks,
after lots of separated discussions on different threads it is
clear the spirit for moving the authoring of our web site over
Confluence. Let's bring to this thread all the ideas and
discussion.
Proposal:
The idea is to use Confluence as the authoring tool for
Geronimo's web site. To achieve this we will use the autoexport
plugin already installed and in use on the cwiki.apache.org.
With the autoexport plugin we can customize the generated HTML
look and feel by using templates. The current POC can be viewed
at http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE (thx Jason D.)
Some suggestions (mine ;-) )
- Avoid JIRA references/direct imports, if JIRA is down or
running slow it will affect the main web site.
Eh... maybe... though JIRA should not be down or slow. These
are also static pages, which only pull images off of the JIRA
webapp, but we could remove the icon from the rendering. I
personally think its useful to show some JIRA activity on some
page on the website. Shows that we are still moving even if the
website content isn't.
- Remove edit/print/export links from the generated site. Only
Geronimo committers will have edit access
Fine w/me.
- Update the template L&F. Why not? It is a good opportunity to
do it !!!
Ya, probably some changes to be made... I like the Cayenne site
a lot... clean, simple... nice popup menus.
- Need to define how to integrate the other subprojects web
sites (consider confluence spaces too).
Aye, we need a basic theme that works for the main site,
documentation sites and sub-project sites.
- pls chime in!!!
I volunteer to start updating the content (matching with what
we already have on the live site), unless somebody else wants
to go it!
I will also look at some alternative templates.
I really would like to see this happen... so I can lend a hand.
