For those not following closely in JIRAland, I've two changes that are ready to go. First, there's transition over to a bootstrap-based layout for our home page. This work is done in HBASE-12688. This improves the looks of things and will make it pretty easy to update our look-and-feel in the future. Second, I fixed a build problem where the online book wasn't getting its intended styling. This is done in HBASE-12687. I'd like to update the book to look the same as the front-page, but getting styles into docbook is proving non-trivial.
Anyway, both of these changes are pushed to master and we're ready for a site re-build with the new look. I'll make that happen tomorrow morning unless I hear actionable objections.
