Hi guys!
Congrats on the new site. The front page certainly is shiny with all the cool icons 'n stoof!
What I don't like so much is that you completely, utterly, totally, broke all "backward compatibility". A golden rule of the web is to *never* *break* *an* *url*. Imagine the dozens of releases and projects out there which refer to http://avalon.apache.org/framework/api as a source for external javadocs, for example.
Could you /please/ either put the old content back (just don't link to it) or set up appropriate redirects?
Oh, another thing I'd recommend is either providing more information on the front page about what avalon does, or having a big fat link labelled something like "About". Imagine you're someone who hasn't got a clue what "complete development platform for component and container programming utilizing key design patterns such as Inversion of Control and Separation of Concerns" means. It'd be nice if they could find out easily, right? (most apache websites suffer badly from the "random John Doe alienation" factor; avalon used to be reasonably good at avoiding it...)
cheers,
- Leo
