I think "learn about" link should point to a documentation overview
page, not just to the top-level wiki. This should include the FAQ,
the javadocs and the wiki. The wiki alone should not the
authoritative documentation, should it?
+1 for an overview page.
Should "news" be under "releases" on the same page, or should these
be separate pages?
+1 for separate pages. Perhaps the releases section could be fleshed
out with more info on our "stable" link, our roadmap (link to Jira
roadmap?), and our release process (ie, what we agree to in
HADOOP-1161).
The "install and configure" link should point to:
http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/api/overview-
summary.html#overview_description
+1. Doug, can you remind me why we don't ship hadoop-default or
hadoop-site config file that fulfills the "pseudo distributed
configuration" on this overview page page?
http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/ front page is not user-friendly

HADOOP-1066

One of our tech writers has been looking at the state of Hadoop
documentation, and suggests reworking the Hadoop front page to be
more than just a release page (as it seems to be now).
Especially in comparison with other other apache project pages,
ours is uninviting to users unfamiliar with the premise of the
project. She's suggesting updating the page to include more meta-
information about the site, in addition to most of the links and
news items currently on the page.
