Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-14163:
--------------------------------------
This looks great! I think this is something we can commit then iterate on,
thanks for doing the initial work [~elek]!
A few quick points:
* In the top navbar, the "Apache Hadoop" is already a link, do we need the
"Home" link too? Remove "Home" if not?
* Recommend moving the bylaws and committer criteria under "Community", since
they're Hadoop specific (not ASF).
* I think we can remove the ASF navbar links entirely, and have a link to the
main ASF site in the site footer, and somewhere on the landing page.
* Is it possible to display the latest few news stories right on the homepage?
If so, IMO we make it full-width and get rid of "Modules" and move "Related
projects" to a separate page (under "Community"?). "Modules" seems like filler
content and too dev-oriented, we should explain how HDFS/YARN/MR interact in a
more user-oriented way.
* For viewing older news stories, is it possible to paginate so you can view
e.g. 10 per page? Having to click each one to view is a bit unfriendly.
* I looked at http://hadoop.anzix.net/release/2.7.2.html and the Documentation
link is broken (and seems to point to 3.0.0-alpha2).
* We also lost some links from the old website, like "Who uses Hadoop?"
"Sponsorship" etc.
Things to all of us to think about for the future:
* We really should improve our "Learn more" and "Getting started" content, it's
not that user friendly and also jarring now that it links to the release
tarball docs with the old style.
* It'd be good to have some more introductory content (with figures) on the
main page.

> From the dev mailing list:
> "Publishing can be attacked via a mix of scripting and revamping the darned
> website. Forrest is pretty bad compared to the newer static site generators
> out there (e.g. need to write XML instead of markdown, it's hard to review a
> staging site because of all the absolute links, hard to customize, did I
> mention XML?), and the look and feel of the site is from the 00s. We don't
> actually have that much site content, so it should be possible to migrate to
> a new system."
> This issue is find a solution to migrate the old site to a new modern static
> site generator using a more contemprary theme.
> Goals:
> * existing links should work (or at least redirected)
> * It should be easy to add more content required by a release automatically
> (most probably with creating separated markdown files)
