I think I am not making any noise in middle of this discussion.
When I browse through the qpid web site I faced with some of the problems
reported in [1]. I think we need to re-arrange the web site with the same
content in a more user friendly manner where a user pick what he/she wants
in minimum time. What I suggest is the following left panel menu and site
should be generated with maven site plugin[2].
+ Download
| + Releases
| + Source code
|
+ Documentation
| + Quick start guide
| + Wiki
| + Javadocs
|
+ Project Information
| + Mailing lists
| + Building from source
| + Issue Tracking
| + Project Team
| + Project Summary
|
+ ASF
+ Foundation
etc..,
