There are a lot of apache web sites that work this way:
* http://servicemix.apache.org
* http://camel.apache.org
* http://mina.apache.org
* http://felix.apache.org
* http://geronimo.apache.org
I think most of those have the following components:
* a header on top
* a shortcut bar just below with links
* a navigation bar on the left
* the main content page in the center / bottom-right
All header / shortcuts / navigation are pages from confluence, so the
template is really basic, and all the styling is done using css.
If we agree, I can at least implement that, as it's mostly a copy /
paste thingy for the basic set up.
I've included below the template for the servicemix web site.
If we agree, I can set this template for the web site, and the next
step would be to create an appropriate css for aries.
FWIW, css, javascripts and all are stored in the svn repo of servicemix:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/site/
and we have an svn update in the cron job which looks like the following:
(/usr/local/bin/rsync -r /www/confluence-exports/SM/
/www/servicemix.apache.org/ ; /usr/local/bin/svn update
/www/servicemix.apache.org/)
