Also, why are the release notes using closer.cgi? Its a PITA when you
want to go look at these small text files to see what they have to use
this mirror redirector, which is intended for larger downloads :-(
The way we download the files is the same way we have been using since the very
beginning, long before the first face lift. Not sure why you bring this up just
now !?

I didn't attach any new images, however I did fix the border problem earlier
today.
It was you who added the 1.1 image in first place on the download page (Mar 26,
2007 14:52 - Jason Dillon: Add the nice box, using svn url at the moment,
should change). I then changed it with a smaller jpg version for faster
rendering.
Either way, that image refers to 1.1, that's why I asked for one without any version
specific info so we can add it to the "general" download page. FWIW we are also
missing 1.0 and 1.1.1 boxes so we can add to each download page the corresponding image.
WRT http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE/downloads.data/geronimo-box-1.1-small.jpg
I mentioned in the other thread you replied:

This is the same box logo which I'm talking about.
I thought I had explained this already...
I give up. You do it how you want and if you end up copying the image over and
over I'll try to explain again later why duplicating is bad.

*geronimo-box-1.1-small.jpg* is not the same image as
*geronimo-box-1.2-small.jpg* which is not the same image as
*geronimo-box-2.0-small.jpg* ..., so what is it I am duplicating?
Cheers!

I'm talking about the Geronimo boxes as in
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE/downloads.data/geronimo-box-1.1-small.jpg,
this is a unique image that is to be used only for the 1.1 release
in this case. Each image would be used only once, I can't see why
attaching that unique image file to a unique page is such a bad thing.

If the images are attached to confluence and we export the space,
all the content gets exported. Hence we have a self contained copy
of the web site with very limited external dependencies, that is for
the actual downloads.
Even if we serve those images from svn we would still have to copy
every single one from site/trunk/art to site/trunk/docs/images
One additional tiny benefit on the attachment approach is that the
image served from confluence is approx 4 times smaller in size
compared to the one we have on svn. I know, I did that to make the
rendering a bit faster but my point is that we will still have to do
some additional steps either way, not only svn cp.
Now, if we want to serve all the static content from all our the
cwiki spaces directly from svn that's a different story.
Cheers!

That mens for each release we have a duplicate image? That is crazy
not really, wasn't your point to have a unique image for each

No, I want to have one box image in
http://geronimo.apache.org/images/ per version, and have each
release page reference it (like a normal web page would do).
man. Thats like saying that each page has the banner image
attached to it, though admittedly that is much worse, but its
along the same lines as what you are suggesting.
right, there is no point in copying the very same image over and
over again, so there is clearly a misunderstanding here.
Um... I'm confused... you said:
<snip>
I think we should be consistent in the way we manage the
attachments with confluence.
I rather have them attached to corresponding release page.
There are not that many to copy over anyway.
</snip>
I read this as you want to have the images of the box log attached
to the corresponding release page, meaning each page has a separate
copy of the same logo. I'm not sure how I could have read it any
differently :-(
If we are going to use just one image (independent of the Geronimo
version) on each release page then we definitively point to the
same spot where we have the banners and logos on the repo.
However, if we want to have for each release page a new Geronimo
box with a matching version number, then we should to attach each
of those images to the corresponding release page. This is the
approach I thought we were talking about. If we go this way then
we need to come up with a kind of standard way to create that
image, today we are missing 1.0 and 1.1.1.
Right, I don't think we need to have an image that matches the
exact version. I think that 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc... all use the
1.1 logo, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, etc. all use the 2.0 logo, and so on.
Ask Hiram to whip up a 1.0 version, he said it was relatively easy.
I don't think we want to have separate images for 2.0-m5, 2.0-m6,
2.0-m99, 2.0.1, etc, basically one image per major branch... else
we'd be asking Hiram to make new images all of the time ;-)
