The new site is *very* nice and we should (and we do) acknowledge
ish contribution, still the emphasis is wrong IMO. Consider this -
all Cayenne committers and other ASF participants work somewhere. I
can say that ObjectStyle LLC. contributes money to Cayenne every
month (by me paying salary to myself), but this is sort of implied
and is not relevant for the board report purpose. People
contributing to Apache are assumed to be acting as individuals and
if a company covers the costs of development, it is specifically
asked to submit a release form (corporate CLA).
The fact that you actually lead the redesign project (as opposed to
just covering the costs), is what's worth mentioning.
+1 on your -1.
"The lack of a clear style guide for Apache project site design
was noted, even as it comes to use of the feather logo. ASF might
consider whether the goal is to have lots of individual looking
projects or impose greater consistency."

I don't think site design should be a matter of ASF policy. Maybe
only in part where it is related to the use of Apache logo, but
certainly nothing beyond that.
Again, +1 on your -1
