Hi,

Irregardless of which look and feel to pick, I would like to press the issue
of breadcrumb navigation or another indication of where we are in the menu
structure. I have noted that the Karaf, Felix and ServiceMix sites don't
seem to have it, so I tend to get lost in my browser history when browsing
those sites.

As an example, take the DOSGi subproject of Apache CXF: 
http://cxf.apache.org/dosgi-releases.html
http://cxf.apache.org/dosgi-releases.html . You can see at the top that
we're 3 levels deep in the navigation and each segment is clickable.

Contrast this with Cave subproject's download page: 
http://karaf.apache.org/index/subprojects/cave/source.html
http://karaf.apache.org/index/subprojects/cave/source.html . Obviously one
can see that this page is about Cave and SVN, but there is no easily visible
link to the project's main page other than scrolling down and picking out
the subproject from a full menu.


Where to put those breadcrumbs is left to artistic interpretation, but I
guess it somehow needs to be close to the top of the page and yet not too
close to the logo. I feel that the breadcrumbs of the CXF page tend to get
drowned out by the large "Apache CXF" letters at the top, so this is a
chance to do it right.


With best regards,

Bert
