The website looks pretty slick! Couple minor things I found while glancing at it:
--> Getting Started --> Building Mesos ./configure should be preceded by ./bootstrap You could also mention that users can run 'make check' to run all the tests --> Getting Involved Typo: Separate lists exist for Mesos uses, are developers --> Downloads We should also point them to change log for each release. You can find them here : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Achangelog-panel On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Dave Lester <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi All, > > I've expressed an interest in helping with a website refresh, and wanted to > break this down via email to get some feedback. > > *PROCESS* > It'd be great to embrace an iterative process for the website; the site is > never 'done' and I think there are a number of changes we could make both > small and large.
