RE: Microsoft attempts to patent .NET
> Surprise surprise... > > http://www.javalobby.org/thread.jsp?forum=61&thread=6843 Does this surprise anybody ;)? M$ is the reason why I did not have intensively dealt with .NET - even it might be a good technology... But what does that mean for us? Do we have to unbundle the Ant .NET tasks (even if it would not hurt myself)? What does happen to all these .NET Open Source (mostly GPL) products/projects... Thanx to M$ there will be many controverse discussions IMHO ;)! Greetingx, Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: The Jakarta Site Was: [Discussion] (Fake)Forrest for Jakarta!
Hi! Sorry! Just picking one point, but :)! > > > 7) What Apache community does Project X belong to? > > What's an Apache community? Do you mean 'top-level project'? > > Nope. Like, Jakarta should point to the Apache front page > somewhere, Ant > should too. BSF should point to Jakarta. Agrreed 100% - and this is what the forrest skin does in the header line (http://ant.apache.org, http://xml.apache.org/forrest) Of course this feature is part of FakeForrest :) > ie) Apache projects are a hierarchy. If the idea of a project being in > multiple communities occurs, then it would list these. If you mean Ant for example: As you might have missed, Ant was promoted from a Jakarta to a toplevel Apache project, so the link on Jakarta is just there to redirekt to the correct page, because hundreds for websites, programs, manuals etc. point to the jakarta website talking about Ant! Probably the link can be removed from project.xml but the redirecting page has to remain :)! Additionally: I think it's pretty important to know how old some information is. For this reason (Fake)Forrest generates the deploy/generation date in the footer row... Just my 2 cents :) Cheers, Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Discussion] (Fake)Forrest for Jakarta!
Hi all! I saw the "Tapestry" discussion, and this remindet me, that I wanted to "carry" FakeForrest to Jakarta! So what is it? Simple: It's a set of 2 Velocity/Anakia template-files and some images. The Velocity templates are build upon the Jakarta-ones and follow the Jakarta-Anakia-DTD! What does it? It renders Anakia-build websites with the (current - with some small modifications - see below) Forrest skin. Where can I find it? We currently use this to build the http://ant.apache.org website so you can preview the result there and the sources are in the Ant-cvs http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-ant/xdocs/stylesheets/. Why should we use it? IMHO it is the FASTEST way to provide a nice, functional and consistent look of the entire xxx.apache.org website! Are there any limitations? Yes: Currently there are no multiple tabs for menues on the left side, but this can easyly be solved by allowing multiple menu-sections in the proect.xml Additionally: We (Conor ;)) recently fixed some incompatibilities with the HTML 4.01 standard so it now generates validatable HTML 4.01 code! It's proved, it works, it's nice ;). Remark: I do not see Fake-Forrest as the final solution, but its a nice and fast way in moving to a nice new, consisten etc. look of the Apache website, as I said before! Thoughts?
