Hello JB,

the CMS has been setup on ace.apache.org, but it doesn't provide any content
for now.
I propose to start at least with the copy of the content from the incubator
website.
Any objection ?
I'm still wrapping up the many steps involved in the move, but as you can see,
we're getting there! :)
I think we might want to discuss what and how to move, before we dive in and
start the work, as this is an excellent opportunity to restructure the site a
bit.
So I would propose to start by defining a (new) hierarchy for our website, at
the same time trying to identifying the bits and pieces that have been missing
or hard to find in the current site and addressing those.
WDYT?
Following up, I drafted the first proposal for a new hierarchy, based mostly on
the content we currently have, but slightly re-arranged:
Home
- News
- Presentations and articles / ACE on the web
Downloads
User Documentation
- Introduction
- Getting Started
- Features
- FAQ
- Support
Developer Documentation
- Architecture
- Analysis
-- (5 pages)
- Design
-- (7 pages)
- Coding Standards
Get Involved
- Mailing Lists
- Issue Tracking
- Source Code
- Project Team
Wiki
- Board Reports
- Drafts (??)
Apache
- About
- License
- Security
- Sponsorship
- Thanks
Process wise, if we agree on a hierarchy, we can start setting up this tree in the CMS,
moving over the content page by page, converting it into "markdown" format.
I propose we stick to just migrating the content before we start worrying about
styling it. In the mean time I have asked a colleague (Ivo) who also did the
styling for the Felix website, as well as our ACE logo, to design a new style
for us so no doubt he will contribute something soon!
We have some technical issues to think about as well, mainly related to
maintaining and publishing diagrams on our new website. In Confluence, we could
use Gliffy to draw diagrams, but we have to come up with something different
now. I guess we should stick with something like SVG and use an editor that can
read/write that natively.
For other (bitmap) images such as photos and screenshots, this is much less of
an issue.
Greetings, Marcel
