Hi Julian, well I do like how the page of IoTDB looks like, however I'm not fond of the workflow needed to update it. With this we would rid ourselves of the easy contribution way we currently have. Thinking about how much we need fresh content on the page I wouldn't like having to make this more complicated. And with VueJS it has one big disadvantage (The same we had with Apache Flex Websites and all "fat client websites") ... Google has problems indexing them.
I just tried searching for some of the text on the IoTDB website and was confirmed that the website is completely invisible to Google ... I don't think that's a good idea. I guess I would make the Skin a pet project which I'll work on after work hours. But only if you agree that this is worth doing. The maven fluido-skin is based on a really old bootstrap version and I would simply start with this.

I like what the IoTDB guys did with vue as it gives you lots of possibilities but I also like the ease of our current approach. I agree that we should make the site a bit nicer but I'm unsure on how to do it : / Perhaps we should lurk arount other Projects a bit (with nice websites) to checkout how they do it / did it...

Making the output great would require patching on several places. Therefore I think it might be the better idea to take an Apache licensed skin such as one released by the maven team and to create our own based on that. We’ll have to bootstrapify that, but I guess in the end we’ll have soething we can customize to our needs 100% the way we want it to. What do you think? Chris
