While this isn't a full review, some first impressions: - Landing page: Key Technologies section (left bottom div) is redundant given the Technology Primer link in the hero bar. I would rather recommend to place the most important announcement (such as security announcement / latest release info) here
- Apache Struts / Releases: Let's call it Downloads - effectively it is the link page not only for releases, but also snapshot downloads and so on. Interestingly, this also the name of the page! - First steps: While we want to add a First Steps section within this menu, it effectively covers all the documentation - so Documentation would be the menu name following the principle of least surprise. so far for now, René Am 09.09.13 11:44, schrieb Christian Grobmeier: > Hello folks, > > given our recent discussions on the documentation I have started to > rework the Struts main page. > > Please find it here: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/site/branches/next/ > > I have already pinned a lot of my "visions" here and would like to > invite you to check it out and help making it good. > > I was very radical and removed everything which looked outdated, reached > to far or was "not necessary" these day in my opinion.
