Here is an update on this effort.
In rev. 1413687 I have committed a series of changes to the website; here is
the commit log:
=======================
First pass in the last step of the removal of automatically generated pages
from Confluence from the OFBiz website:
* moved a bunch of links to Confluence-based documents from the index.html page
to the documentation.html page where it is clearly mentioned that they refer to
the Wiki
* several links to Confluence-based pages now open the page in a new browser
tab: this should help the user understand what is from the site and what is
from Confluence
* removed the Confluence search box from the header and moved to the
documentation.html page where it is clearly stated that it is a form for Wiki
searches
* converted two Confluence-based documents ("Getting Started" and "Project
Overview") to static html pages; thanks to Olivier Heintz for the contribution
(OFBIZ-5077, OFBIZ-5078); this commit contains a slightly modified version of
the work contributed by Olivier;
* the new documents are now "children" of the main documentation.html page
* cleaned up and improved page <title/> elements
* fixed some formatting
=======================
I apologize for the big commit but this first step was difficult to do in small
chunks because there was a need for some "structure" before moving things
around; now we have a simple one and it should be easier to complete the work.
However I did my best to not change the content of the website and I did my
best to add the bare minimum of new content required to glue the
documentation.html page together; please review what I did and let me know if
you see something wrong. All the main new content is in the 2 new pages that
contain the text migrated by Olivier from Confluence.
Now the next steps should be:
1) remove the "features" tab from the top bar and add a link to the "main new
features" document to the document.html page
2) convert the following two pages to static html:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/mailing-lists.html
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/ofbiz-source-repository-and-access.html
3) remove some of the right bar links from the index.html and move the ones we
need to the documentation.html page
The above tasks should be enough for what we have to complete by the end of the
year.
Kind regards,
Jacopo
