Love the new project, especially the new messaging that makes it a lot clearer.
The projects part is fantastic in terms of message but I think it needs a little improvements because the bullets look weird. Maybe just remove the bullets ? Also it would be great to have a “videos” section if there are any recorded sessions of Karaf talks. Or at the least slidedecks. What do you think about that ? I also noticed Karaf Boot is already in there, cool ! cheers, Serge… > On 1 déc. 2015, at 16:39, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I updated the website proposal: > > http://maven.nanthrax.net/goodies/karaf/site/ > > (don't forget to reload the page cache with CTRL-R for instance). > > I added most of the pages (I have to clean up some links), the news sliders, > etc. > > Now, I'm working on: > 1. migrating the documentation to asciidoc (like the decanter one) > 2. revamping of the dev guide to be more "recipes oriented", with samples > embedded in the distribution > > Regarding the website, please, don't hesitate to share your comments (on IRC, > Skype, mail, or mailing list), I will integrate it. > > I would like to promote this new "marketing" material soon. > > Thanks, > Regards > JB > > On 11/12/2015 07:54 AM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I already discussed with some of you about my plan on Karaf marketing. >> >> I think clearly that we had a great project, a great team, a great tool, >> but we're not really good in term of promotion and marketing. >> >> Especially, we have to be clear in the message and the projects that we >> deliver.
