Hi Folks.
The site hasn't moved for years, and nobody really knows how to build it
(it used patched Maven plugins that were once installed somewhere on a
machine that has since disappeared).
Should we want to release something today, we're more or less stuck.
Plus, the design is now really outdated, there are plenty of dead links,
etc...
So I felt it was time to do something about it, and I had a few days
this week : the opportinuty makes the thief, I revamped the site layout
and moved its sources from xdoc/apt/doap/... to markdown and xslt (and a
few lines of perl).
The site sources are visible here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/site/cms/trunk/
There is a preview here: http://test.renegat.net
I made several choices in the revamping process. I'll try to lighten a
bit the menus, moved Anakia, DVSL, Texen and DocBook Framework to an
Archive section, got rid of most of useless empty report pages but tried
to keep most essential ones. If you feel something is missing, just tell me.
Now to the vote: switch to this new site and to the Apache CMS?
[ ] -1
[ ] 0
[ ]+1
Should the vote pass, I'll open an infra issue to switch to the Apache CMS.
Once done, every commiter will be able to update pages on the site by
use of a simple bookmarklet (which will commit changes, let one preview
the staged result, then push changes to the production site). Other
users can use the bookmarklet to submit patches.
