Re: Geronimo documentation - upcoming look & feel
I meant more like rearranging things to reduce the space. Anyways not a big deal. Can always tweak it later. --jason -Original Message- From: Hernan Cunico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 10:19:22 To:[email protected] Subject: Re: Geronimo documentation - upcoming look & feel I just used the same banner we have in the web site, we could make it thinner if needed.

Re: Geronimo documentation - upcoming look & feel
I agree, it would be a really nice hit if we can include it in the distribution which, BTW, it rises again the call for volunteers to contribute with the project's documentation. If anybody is able to contribute with the project's documentation, in any possible way, this is the time for doing it :) Please feel free to ping me with any questions, concerns, suggestions. Cheers!

Re: Geronimo documentation - upcoming look & feel
Looks like it addresses my gripes with the current confluence pages. Thanks! I also agree with the other comment that it would be ideal to have separate 1.0 and 1.1 "spaces" -- which is to say, separate documentation sets. Ultimately I think version N should have everything that version N-1 had only updated and with a "what changed" page and covering any new features.

Available at the following link is just a single page, static draft based on what is in the oven for Geronimo v1.1 documentation. The new confluence wiki will be running a plugin that automatically exports the new content into HTML format so it can be served as static content increasing the performance. Not only that, the HTML exports can be configured using templates so we can select the information we want to display, for example removing the classic "Added by / last edited by" if it turns to be an issue. Three key things to pay special attention from the template used are, obvious banner at the top of the page, user names removed and Apache license disclaimer at the very bottom of each page. http://people.apache.org/~hcunico/cwiki/documentation.html Comments, questions, suggestions are welcomed :) Cheers!

Thanks Hernan for plugging on this.

Having individual spaces will give us more flexibility for managing them, better structure, reduced footprint for the exports, improved performance, etc, overall content will be more organized.
