is.

Oops -- sorry, I was making edits as I went. Didn't think about where I

Body at 16px def looked nicer to me, I'm sure sidebar at 14 is fine.

Awesome, thanks for the updates. They are live on my temporary site.
I set the font size in the sidebar back to 14px, since it looked too big to
me now that the sidebar is skinnier. The body is still 16px. See if you
like it, and if not I'll happily make it 16px again.

Bill,
I just pushed some changes. I mostly changed things to help the flow of
the page.
- Shrink sidebar and "download" button, center justifying too.
- Reworked some header tag (h1->h2, h3->h2, etc)
- Reduced width of copyright to be slightly less prone to widows
- Fixed grammar/capitalizatio
I think the new site is just about ready. Latest updates:
- Replaced social network icons with approved graphics from the sites
themselves. (Excellent catch Josh.)
- Switched to better external link icons, moved icons to left of link text.
- Added IRC channel link to sidebar.
- Added bylaws and go
Thanks David!
Re social icons: This post is interesting (google "social icons trademark"):

I'll redo the icons according to the branding guidelines for the respective
sites. Good catch Josh!

I solicited some ideas from a colleague, and he recommended maybe
putting the Accumulo logo in the menu, or maybe an alternate version,
without the surrounding boxes.
He also recommended utilizing the scrolling nav bar (especially for

I updated to include a modest margin on either side of the body content.
The margins are present on larger displays, but on smaller displays (e.g.,
phone, tablet) they disappear so the content spans the whole page. You can

Agreed on the width of the main page content.
Additionally, I think the (sub)headers took a step back in terms of
readability. The new stuff tends to run together without an emphasis on
the individual sections. The old CSS rules added some underlining

Hi Miguel!
An easy way to get involved would be just to look through the site and see
if there are any problems with it. Most of the content is generated from
Markdown automatically, and maybe some of it looks weird under Bootstrap.
To go deeper, you can take a look at the source for the site by

That's easy to do, yes. Bootstrap uses a 12-column grid system, so we can
squeeze the body into a smaller portion of that grid. We can also set
margins.
Another idea, of course, is to use some of that horizontal space for side
column content.

I managed to set up the CMS tool in a VM and use it to build our current
site, as Josh suggested. If anyone else wants to do the same, these
instructions should work for installing the CMS - I found the README to be
a bit lacking.

My comment was in context of maintaining a separate branch that we could
work on and have staged separately to avoid holding the production site
in stasis while we work on this.

When I was writing up the content before our move to Git, I make a

(really comes down to installing a handful of Perl modules). From there,

I updated the site with a horizontal navbar. The menu is much more pleasant

The 1.4 and 1.5 manual links definitely need help, but they are easy to
clean up for sure (when I said I left some parts messy, I was thinking of
those). I'm going to convert the nav menu from the current vertical style
to a horizontal one with dropdo
Looks super spiffy!
Are the pages still mostly markdown? Or does this add a lot of HTML?
I am unfamiliar with Bootstrap as a framework, so these might be really
dumb questions. I'm imagining editing pages via the CMS, and am curious how
well that will work.

+1 It is much cleaner. Would be nice (and more maintainable) for sub-menus-
specifically on the versions for docs & packages.

Rollout sub-menus might be nice. That nav bar is pretty busy.
