Final call for comments about new staticmesh based website...

[Clinton Begin]

Hi all,

Our new website is based on Staticmesh from Pols Consulting.  If there are no objections, I'm going to replace the Forrest based site found at:

http://incubator.apache.org/ibatis/site/index.html

I'll also commit this new site to SVN (once SVN is available...seems to be down right now).


The benefits of staticmesh over Forrest are:

1) Easier to use -- normal HTML, no special DTD, easily customizable CSS

2) Smaller and independent -- checkout and build, one of my favourite practices...no additional setup

3) Faster builds -- nuff said

It allows us to keep an easily maintainable site without worrying about complex look-and-feel concerns (i.e. even "java and C# developers" can do it).  ;-)

If I hear nothing back by tomorrow night, I'll assume everyone agrees.

Clinton
