Great, I will definitely. Thanks !

I'm improving the CSS, and testing live with Jekyll. Hopefully, I will be able to propose a pull request soon.

Hi

For the website I already proposed a new design and css:
http://maven.nanthrax.net/beam/

I plan to provide a PR very soon.

I'm late on that.

Hi all!

I want to revive this thread if I may. Is there any way I can help on
the
website redesign? Additionally, is anyone currently working on the
UI/UX
design? I want to make sure I don't duplicate any work.

Cheers!

James

Just an update for everyone...

The new website navigation structure is roughly in place. However
there's
still work remaining to fill in the pages with the right content.
There are
bugs in JIRA tracking the major gaps.

In addition, JB is working on new CSS to give our site a snazzier
look ;-)

Good point. It make sense to wait that it's actually implemented
and
available before putting on the website.

Thanks !

Good thoughts.

There'll be a section on IO that comes over as part of the
programming
guide being ported from the Cloud Dataflow docs. Hopefully that
has the
technical info needed. Once we see how that's structured (Devin is
still
playing around with a single page or multiple), then we can decide
if we
need to make it more visible. Maybe we should add a summary table
to the
overview page too?

As for DSLs, I think it remains to be seen how we tightly we
choose to
integrate them into Beam. As we've started discussing before, we
may
decide
that some of them belong elsewhere because they change the
user-visible
concepts, but should be discoverable from our documentation. Or
others
may
more closely align and just expose subsets. But in any case --
totally
agree we should add the right concepts when we cross that bridge.

Hi Frances,

great doc !

Maybe in the "Learn" section, we can also add IOs (like SDKs, and
runners), like we do in Camel
(http://camel.apache.org/components.html
)
For the SDKs, I would also add DSLs in the same section.

WDYT ?

Good point, JB -- let's redo the page layout as well.

I started with your proposal and tweaked it a bit to add in more
details
and divide things a bit more according to use case (end user vs.
runner/sdk
developer):


https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-0jMv7NnYp0Ttt4voulUMwVe_

Let me know what you think, and what part you'd like to drive!
I'd
suggest
we get the new section layout set this week, so we can
parallelize
site
design and assorted page content.

Hi James,


very good idea !

Couple of month ago, I completely revamped the Karaf website:

http://karaf.apache.org/

It could be a good skeleton in term of sections/pages.

IMHO, for Beam, at least for the home page, we should have:
1. a clear message about what Beam is from an user perspective:
why
should
I use Beam and write pipelines, what's the value, etc. The
runner
writers,
or DSL writers will find their resources but not on the
homepage (on
dedicated section of the website).

In term of sections, we could propose
1.1. Overview (with the three perspective/type of users)
1.2. Libraries: SDKs, DSLs, IOs, Runners
1.3. Documentation: Dev Guide, Samples, Runners Writer guide,
...
1.4. Community: mailing list, contribution guide, ...
1.5. Apache (link to ASF)

2. a look'n feel should be clean and professional, at least for
the
home
page.

I would love to help here !

Regards
JB

Hello everyone!


The current design of the Apache Beam website[1] is based on
the a
basic
Bootstrap/Jekyll theme. While this made getting an initial
site out
quickly
pretty easy, the site itself is a little bland (in my opinion
:). I
propose
we create a new design (layout templates, color schemes,
visual
design)
for
the Beam website.

Since the website is currently using Bootstrap and Jekyll,
this
should
be
a
relatively easy process. Getting this done will require a new
design
and
some CSS/HTML work. Additionally, before a design is put in
place, I
think
it makes sense to discuss any ideas about a future design
first.

So, I think there are two open questions behind this proposal:

1. Is there anyone within the community who would be
interested in
creating
a design proposal or two and sharing them with the community?
2. Are there any ideas, opinions, and thoughts around what the
design
of
the site *should* be?

What does everyone think?

Cheers!

James
