Helma van der Linden commented on COCOON-1680: ---------------------------------------------- Thanks for the work done, it really looks much more modern. I like the general layout and the simplicity of the menu and main content window. I noticed a kind of top level menu in the bar at the top. I find this very cluttered, i.e. too many entries. Maybe you could go one level up for that or reduce it to: - about Cocoon (about us, status, and other info on downloads, svn access, mailing list, links etc) - user guide (narrative info about Cocoon, i.e. explanations of concepts, beginners' info etc) - reference guide (more in-depth info about various aspects of Cocoon) - apidocs and the two "Cocoon/ASF" links at the right. I do like this: simple and clear. Although you might change ASF to "Apache" since not every one is familiar with the meaning of ASF. I noticed lines above certain letters of the links. I assume they are used for keyboard shortcuts? If so, the idea is fabulous, but I would suggest to move the line below the letter or change the color of the letter. Both are more compatible with user expectations. I like it that the search bar is less prominent but as a whole I find the top block very cluttered. Is it possible to reduce the left image with the feather? > New design/ layout proposal for Cocoon documentation > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-1680 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1680 > Project: Cocoon > Type: Improvement > Components: - Documentation > Reporter: Milan Andrejevic > Priority: Minor > Attachments: asf20051107.zip, screenshot.gif > > I made new design/ layout proposal for Cocoon documentation.
