I really like the proposed Home Page as well. I agree with Jamie that we should flatten out ServiceMix 3 and 4 in the navigation column a bit. To take his suggestions even further, I propose that we have ServiceMix 3 and ServiceMix 4 as their own top level menu items, with sub-items for documentation, downloads, source, etc. For ServiceMix 4, I am thinking the Features, NMR and Kernel variations should be de-emphasized slightly by just referring to Features as ServiceMix 4. This is what most people think of as ServiceMix 4 anyway. We could differentiate between them on the ServiceMix 4 main page once the user gets there.
I think the main page has been confusing for a while so I think this is a great time to dig in and revise it a bit before we release the 3.x updates, 4.1, and the new components releases. I think flattening things out to be a bit more concise on the main page will help a lot of people navigate the sire and understand the differences between SMX3 and 4. I'll be happy to spend a couple of days reviewing and making these updates if everyone generally agrees on this. -- Chris Custine FUSESource :: http://fusesource.com My Blog :: http://blog.organicelement.com Apache ServiceMix :: http://servicemix.apache.org Apache Directory Server :: http://directory.apache.org On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 7:02 AM, Jamie G. <[email protected]> wrote: > I really like the new home page design :) > > The only part that I could see a small improvement is in the > 'Community' side panel.
