My own opinion is that the home page should be kept small, and we should use links to direct people to other pages with further information on them. Call me old fasioned but I thought this was the point of HTML,
I dont want to have everything in one big page that no-one will scroll right down. Have big pages further in, but IMO keep the homepage as introduction and TOC for the site. d. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tetsuya Kitahata [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 06 June 2003 19:52 > To: Jakarta General List > Subject: New Top page (Re: [PATCH] index.xml patch for introduction to > related projects) > > > > Hello, > > It seems that there was no objections, opinions etc. for this. > So, I'll make this within 36 hours. > (In holiday, taking in consideration of the social effects ;-) > > Sincerely, > > Tetsuya. > > -- > > On Sun, 1 Jun 2003 12:31:06 +0100 > (Subject: Re: [PATCH] index.xml patch for introduction to related > projects (was Re: [PATCH] Re: Jakarta Newsletter ...)) > robert burrell donkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > i quite like the idea of adding a table giving introductions > for related > > projects but i know some other people think that the welcome > page is too > > big already. > > > > opinions, anybody? > > > > - robert > > > > On Saturday, May 24, 2003, at 01:29 PM, Tetsuya Kitahata wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi, Robert and all. > > > > > > > > >> applied. many thanks. > > >> > > >> i hope you'll find some time to add something about BCEL > (and maybe James > > >> too) to the next newsletter > > >> http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JakartaNewsletterDrafts/Issue9. > > > > Thanks you very much.
