We suggested an online meeting at 4pm UK today to discuss website. Does
that still work? Meet in the IRC room? Or if people prefer I can set
up a voice/screen forum.

Thanks Andrea! I don't mind removing the feather but I thought we were
obliged to add it to the website as Brooklyn is an apache project, isn't it
right?
Also, if we put only the Brooklyn logo on the navigation bar, I'm worried
that the first section of the homepage won't work anymore. We will need to
put something else there. If you have any ideas, I gladly take suggestions
:)
Best.

I think it's a great contribution, much better on a small screen like
smartphone. Still `Apache Brooklyn` doesn't fit nicely though. Also maybe
instead of the feather, we could keep a brooklyn logo on the bar that
remains when you scroll down, wdyt?

Hi Brooklyners
I just pushed a PR[1] which implement the changes I was proposing earlier
in this thread. I also pushed a demo of the new website and landing page
on
my fork[2]
Best.

+1 on Thomas's mock up, looks great.
Being able to see something in action before trying it can be useful,
perhaps something asciinema-like (https://asciinema.org/a/46498).

Wow - really like this! Very clean and elegant.
Thanks!
I think we should /show/ a little bit more what we mean by
modeling/deploying/managing -- eg for modelling (code snippet),
and a
graphic w cloud icons for deploy, and maybe a UI screenshot for
manage
?
I'm not sure I agree with that. I deliberately went for less because
I
believe less is more, especially on the homepage. Adding a code
snippet,
screenshots abd logos will do the reverse IMO. You started this
thread
by
saying that Brooklyn is always considered as complicated, doing this
will
reinforce this feeling IMO.
That being said, we could add a page to have a UI tour, with a link
to
it
in the "Get Started" menu item?
And not sure about curl-to-bash for install -- some people are
uncomfortable with that (in any case we should curl from an apache
site
for a release, not github).
I used github as an example, this is not a real URL.
But some one-line quick start would be
nice. A docker image? (And can say jump to Get Started for other
flavours of installs.)
Why not for the docker image. I went for the curl command because
that's
the only one that does not require the user to install anything else.
If
you think about it, a quick start guide that starts by "Install
docker"
or
"Install vagrant AND VirtualBox" is far from a great way to start
for a
first-time Brooklyn user. Now I might be wrong about this and if it
is
the
case, then I'm happy to change it (again, that's just a prototype)
Regarding the other flavours of install, it's specified in a link,
below
the shell command ;)
Lastly instead of the brooklyn logo font, can you just use the big
logo
PNG that is currently in use on the site?
I could do that but:
1. the quality is not as nice as pure text
2. from an semantic/SEO point of view, it's better to use the text
as
crawler will be able to read it
Also, I don't know if you noticed but I rearranged the menu items. I
was
planning to do this + update all the web dependencies i.e. bootstrap,
jquery, etc
