AW: A NetBeans website proposal

2018-02-25 Thread Christian Lenz 
Lightbox would be great and a must have, atm the images links Points to the 
Images as URLs, I tried ESC which is defacto normal to Close such Things, then 
I realized, I have to go back. Seems a broken UX.

So what is the current state of this? I want to contribute sooner or later too 
to the Project. I would like to Transfer stuff from the current page (My 
placeholder) to that page.

Well, probably, or maybe even responsive image sets, but all things in
time. ;-)  I assume we have bigger versions of these?  Mind you, I'm not
sure some of those dialogs are actually that big!

Personally I think we could go live with this, but not forget it.  I can
also look at integrating a lightbox or similar, unless there's already one
in Foundation?

I love it too - and it should in no way be considered laziness that we used
something pre-existing! ;-)

er, thanks ... you know I'm trying to get out of this professional web
lark, right?! :-)

Now, speaking of responsive images, a real professional would have created
more than one version of the hero image for different size screens!  I can
have a look at that next week too assuming we're definitely using this one
for now.

Best wishes,

Neil

I like the great work too. Atm as I said often, I don’t have much time to 
begin. My first draft was the page which is online at netbeans.apache.org. I 
will dive into all of the stuff later, when I see smth that I can/will fix. But 
for the Moment, great work. I will discuss with you too but not implementing. 
Maybe we can merge some parts of my page to the new draft of you. To Show the 
Features of NetBeans.

Great work!

The only important and required change needed AFAICT concerns the
download page [1].
There is a dedicated page with the ASF requirements for that at [2].
What needs to be added is, besides links to the distributions itself,
also links to the KEYS, sigs, hashes files, and a reminder for users to
check sums and signatures.
Just follow the instructions at [2] to get [1] aligned, and I think this
looks good to 'go live'!

Ate
