@tbish.. haha. Yeah, the Karaf site can be a bit much, but the use of
color and pictures is good.. lot of other popular open source projects
have similar layouts.. spring.io, etc.
@clebert- IMO the plain apache.org is pretty bland. Prolly one step up
from openbsd.org level blandness ;-) The current Artemis docs have
nice l&f. I agree w/ clean site, but I think we should shoot for
better font usage and at least an updated logo.
A nice logo that looks good as a laptop sticker, backpacks, t-shirts,
etc seems to be attainable.
Others to consider:
wicket.apache.org
spark.apache.org
cassandra.apache.org (meh on the font, but clean look, good use of
font face and font color)
mesos.apache.org
couchdb.apache.org (less karaf'sh, simple layout. good font faces and
logo)
-Matt
Keep in mind that ActiveMQ has several subprojects (multiple brokers,
multiple clients) so the site design and layout needs to scale along
with the subprojects

+1 website needs to be updated and will to assist.
I'd also throw out there kafka.apache.org and karaf.apache.org as
design
concepts to consider as well.
The Kafka one isn't bad, the Karaf site make me feel like I need to
contact
someone from sales to get a trial license.
LOL
I think Karaf and Kafka have too much of their project's personality
to bring it as a template.
I was looking for a plain template. qpid is very clean. the main
apache.org is also a very good example.
