[jira] Commented: (COCOON-1680) New design/ layout proposal for Cocoon documentation
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1680?page=comments#action_12357206 ] Milan Andrejevic commented on COCOON-1680: -- Where can I find ASF logo, new version of the feather (IIRC ASF) in vector format, or large raster format? This would help a lot.

Just one html and screen css. I understand you need to modernize site (see Upayavira comment for COCOON-1679). This is my try, I hope you like it. There are two layouts user can choose. Layout info is stored in cookie _asfstyle for 30 days. Added access keys on top menu. Navigation on right contains only sub-section selected form top menu Minimal resolution set to 800px.

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1680?page=comments#action_12357148 ] Helma van der Linden commented on COCOON-1680: -- Right, I like the second version better, because it's less cluttered, but Upayavira is right: it still has strong resemblance to the old site. Do get wild and surprise us. I'd suggest to stick with blue (in whatever shade) to link back to old site. Also, keep the Cocoon logo (the white letters with the dots). I'm not sure if you can remove the apache logo with the feather (and just keep the feather), i.e. if there are rules on that. It would surely free up space. Keep up the good work.

At the first the aim was to make new skin for http://forrest.zones.apache.org/ft/build/cocoon-docs/2.1/index.html, but I realize that this could be universal skin or all document base pages regarding Cocoon, of course if you like it.

What you're designing still feels like the old site. I'd like to see our site looking fresh, new, modern, but still connected to the 'Cocoon' brand, with the logo, maybe with colours, etc. So, be wild. Then we'll let this community restrain you.

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1680?page=comments#action_12356951 ] Helma van der Linden commented on COCOON-1680: -- Thanks for the work done, it really looks much more modern. I like the general layout and the simplicity of the menu and main content window. I noticed a kind of top level menu in the bar at the top. I find this very cluttered, i.e. too many entries. Maybe you could go one level up for that or reduce it to: - about Cocoon (about us, status, and other info on downloads, svn access, mailing list, links etc) - user guide (narrative info about Cocoon, i.e. explanations of concepts, beginners' info etc) - reference guide (more in-depth info about various aspects of Cocoon) - apidocs and the two Cocoon/ASF links at the right. I do like this: simple and clear. Although you might change ASF to Apache since not every one is familiar with the meaning of ASF. I noticed lines above certain letters of the links. I assume they are used for keyboard shortcuts? If so, the idea is fabulous, but I would suggest to move the line below the letter or change the color of the letter. Both are more compatible with user expectations. I like it that the search bar is less prominent but as a whole I find the top block very cluttered. Is it possible to reduce the left image with the feather?
