Niclas has made the suggestion privately (and I got his permission to post publicly here) of making this change to the site: [quote] Middle column becoming 'Catalog' containing a reference to Merlin and a reference to Spare Parts [/quote] With this proposal: * We change the "Products" column on the main page to "Catalog". There will be two icons under Catalog: (1) Merlin, and (2) Spare Parts (probably a synonym will work better) * The Spare Parts icon links to a page that describes all the bits that enable developers to build Avalon components and containers, like Framework, Meta, Repo, Logkit, etc. This is a compromise I can live with. It removes *Products* as a terminology from the site, which I'm not agreeable to, but also doesn't promote Framework as a specific product either. Decent compromise, and beats the hell out of sending Merlin to the Incubator IMO. Coupled with Carsten's suggestion to release the framework bug fixes in 4.2 as a 4.1.6, which will allow us not to a marketing-driven Avalon-5 version bump, I could live with these changes.
