promoted sounds bad, but there should be links someplace. I didn't
understand what had happened when I was coming in tho check for updates on
Ant! I just couldn't find it!! And then, after some browsing around, I
found the news item about the move-on..

How about simply moved?

website (was RE: [PATCH] promoted sub-projects)

2003-03-20 Thread Danny Angus

In response to everyones feedback* I took another look at what I thought would have 
been a simple small change..

I ended up moving everything around in the menus and on the home page, as patches 
probably wouldn't do it justice I've stuck a copy of the resulting html here 
http://www.apache.org/~danny/index.html  (c.f. http://jakarta.apache.org)

What I've done is..

in the menu I've tried to make it more Jakarta oriented and less of a list of 
sub-projects

changed sub projects to products, no need to expose the organisation in 
the site-nav
added related to link to other projects, no need to explain exactly how 
things are related, keeps them distinct from products whos support is provided by 
jakarta.
re-organised links to other resources into about jakarta, reference and 
support and re-ordered the menu sections

In the index page I've tried to reduce the quantity of data without reducing the 
quaility of information, I felt that it isn't doing justice as an introduction to the 
project, it looks mostly like old(ish) news headlines.

moved welcome to the top, added some words about related refactored 
subprojects to products
moved the ASF text to the welcome section and dropped the incomplete list of 
ASF projects in favour of a link
dropped the XML.apache text in favour of a link to xml.apache in the related 
menu section
compressed the news headlines format
dropped the headlines from elsewhere in favour of a link to the elsewhere news 
page

Of course I only really intend this to serve as a focus for another round of opinion 
gathering, I've made some arbitrary changes that might not be popular, but I could 
commit it if people think its generally an improvement on the current nav and homepage.

d.


* There seems to be general favour for retaining links to promoted projects, and 
removing un-necessary exposure of organisational detail.

I like it, some nits

- you will want to add Maven under related.

- maybe DB as well.

- I'm not quite sure why webservices qualify as related but httpd
  doesn't.  No worries 8-).

- I'd probably not put Ant back into the table of products again ...

OJB should probably be replaced in the Related list by DB which includes
Torque (formerly part of Turbine) in addition to OJB.

Cheers,
