Hi Oleg, great job, just one issue: the links to the ASF "sponsoring" and "thanks" pages that I added to the 3.1 site are mandatory for all projects. Maybe you can just copy that section in the navigation over to the Maven2 sites?
The new dist directory is already up, I took care of that yesterday: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ Unfortunately, I had a change of mind regarding the name of the subdirectory for 3.1. Now we have two of them, it seems that the sync of dist with the archives works both ways. My first idea was httpclient-3.x, but when I looked at it later, I felt that people would have a hard time distinguishing between httpclient-3.x and httpclient, so I changed the name back to commons-httpclient. Sebastian, the Jakarta Commons HttpClient logo on the old page was my doing. More specifically, the not removing it. It's an established logo, though we're neither Commons nor Jakarta anymore. That's why the 3.1 page has a "history" section explaining all the moves: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/index.html I don't think it makes much sense to try and rebrand the old codebase. Too many people have seen and used it as Commons HttpClient, that name is in the artifact ID, in the names of the downloadable packages, and even used in our new pages - including the charter Oleg drafted. And the commons part is also in the package names. Having the HttpClient logo next to the HttpComponents logo rather than the Jakarta logo should make the association plain enough. Regarding the archives, we could copy the old releases from the various archive locations over to the new one. Then either leave the old ones where they are, or put HEADER.html files there with pointers to the new location. http://archive.apache.org/dist/commons/httpclient/ http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/httpcomponents/commons-httpclient-3.x/ http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ (was supposed to be subdirectory commons-httpclient, but is subdirectory httpclient-3.x for now) cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
