I agree with you Andreas. My idea was that we'd have some replacement for tapestry-site backed up by
some sort of content management system or something that makes editing easy (e.g. a confluence wiki
export) as a staging site and link to the documentation from there, with the latest release being
the default and additional links for older documentation. See for example the CXF website. I believe
that decoupling the site from the documentation is a good thing because that way we can easily ship
the documentation (and the documentation only, without the rest of the site) with our builds.
Each version's documentation would still be generated by maven (or whatever tool we will use for
documentation in the future) and deployed to the correct location under the main page. That way we'd
also get rid of the problem we'd get by simply merging tapestry-site with tapestry-project with
respect to new releases.
So no, I'm against simply merging tapestry-site with tapestry-project.

ok - my idea was that we'd be going for something like this:
- every version deploys to its own folder, i.e. /tapestry5.1
/tapestry5.0, e.t.c.
upon release + there's no separate 5.0.11 vs 5.0.12 folders
- snapshots deploy every now and then (from CI machines) to similar
folders, i.e. /tapestry5.2-dev
- the landing page along with news, e.t.c. is kept separate (and in fact doesn't
even need to be created from maven + it'd be cool if it could have
some "social" features)... it doesn't have to mention older versions
right up front& it can link to content from the latest stable release
That's why i thought current structure (with tapestry-site separate)
is better...
Now, the proposed reorganization doesn't sound like it's improving on anything -
perhaps the only thing that gets easier is linking pages since they're
all in the same
project but that hasn't been a problem before...
That being said, i will not object to the change - i just don't get it - yet !

Also, wouldn't this cause problems when the current trunk becomes
an "older release"?
It's a bit of an issue, you need to move the necessary files and
directories to a new sub-folder. Further, if you do a follow-up
release, such as 5.1.0.6, you need to update the deployed site
directory as well.

This has gone around before but I expect to take this up pretty soon.
Basically, we'll be getting rid of tapestry-site.
It's content will be merged into tapestry-project, and
tapestry-project's documentation will take over the landing page,
http://tapestry.apache.org.
Older releases will be under that: i.e.,
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4 or
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1
The site content be updated out-of-release cycle, to put up important
documentation or news.
Any objections?
Go ahead!
