----------------------------------
[~mfenwick100]
I like the idea of adding horizontal boxes for
packaging - smoke testing - virtualization.
Then under each describe what it means , i.e.
packaging : "BigTop Packages hadoop RPMs and DEBs, so that you can manage and
maintain your hadoop cluster."
smoke testing : "BigTop provides an integrated smoke testing framework,
alongside a suite of over xxxx tests (grep for testXXXX in groovy files under
test-artifacts to estimate thisnumber)"
virtualization : "BigTop provides vagrant recipes, raw images, and
(work-in-progress) docker recipes for deploying hadoop from zero."
That way people can understand exactly what our project is doing. Right now
there is some confusion in the community, i often here *oh, bigtop also has
puppet recipes, cool!* or *wow, you can spin up a hadoop cluster from bigtop
artifcats?*. So lets stop being shy and make it clear what the actual build
artifacts are right at the top.
> Add dynamic menus, update, links, modern CSS to bigtop site.

> Key: BIGTOP-1312
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1312
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: General
> Affects Versions: backlog
> Reporter: jay vyas
>
> Its a good time, pending BIGTOP-1311, to overhaul the website. This will
> help us to grow a larger community around bigtop, right now.
> For this JIRA Lets focus on :
> 1) modernizing the CSS so the site "looks cool". I know it sounds arbitrary,
> but we all know what "good" sites look like, so lets make the bigtop html
> pages look like a first class website.
> 2) clarify the 4 main things bigtop brings to hadoop. possibly in a diagram:
> * provisioning (puppet, vagrant, etc),
> * testing
> * packaging
> * feeding back info to the individual ecosystem projects.
> 3) Update any the links where necessary.
> 4) Update the "users of bigtop" page. I think now there are many projects
> which use bigtop bits which might have not yet made a public announcement.
> Heres a list of steps anyone interested in working on it. I think this
> could be a great intro project for someone new and interested in contributing
> to bigtop.
> *Steps to complete this JIRA*
> 1) First implement the changes above.
> 2) Test it by doing mvn site:site , and open the index.html page created in
> target/
> 3) Post the patch here for review
> 4) Commit the patch and then see the last bit of BIGTOP-1311 jira for
> directions on deploying it to staging, and pushing it up to full deployment.
