Me too. And my younger stepson has a cute little voice. So he was playing with Clay and patted it into a semi-round circle and said here, it's Bambi-burger...yummm.. And I pretended to eat it...

GUI of the website, where's an overview? (not simply found)
Hello. Though I must admit I did find what I was looking for, and in an almost(sic) obvious place, I didn't at first. This email is about the look/links of the website. A small change in an otherwise well layed out site is requested. I came into Jakarta through a Struts back door (a link into struts). I looked around and saw that there was a large number of subprojects but I could not (at first) find a short description of all the projects on a single page. But wait you say, it's right there on the main page! (yes, kind of) When I first went to the main page, early in my search, I saw sections: Product News, Other News, and Elsewhere ... on my full page screen. Having been on other sites I then (mistakenly) expected the whole page to be a list of email/news links. I did not expect that scrolling down would give me a list of Jakarta Subprojects. How was I to know this? My assumption was incorrect but looking around at other pages, I did not at first find a list of Subprojects. It seemed rather odd. To give you an understanding of how I looked/found the Subprojects list: I was hoping the SubProjects heading on the left column list might link to it but it's just a heading. Various pages: Our mission, Our FAQs, Coding Conventions, Who We Are, and New Subprojects did not contain the list. But, under New Subprojects, in the Subproject Alternatives section was the comment See the Jakarta home page. That got me back to the home page which I had sluffed over early in my quest because it seemed to only contain a list of messages. Scrolling down then obviously found the list I was searching for and even a Welcome section, not at first visible on the Welcome page! That's the issue. It's a Human Interface GUI point. So, now that I have truly bored you, but hopefully made you understand the why and how of what occured in my case, a suggestion. Make the list of Jakarta subprojects more prominent. It does not have to be on a seperate page, on the main page is fine and probably best. My request is placing it and/or links to it in such a position that finding it is easier. Certainly considering my foibles may hint at possible improvements.

Re: Website failings [Was: GUI of the website, where's an overview?(not simply found)]
Furthermore: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/faqs.html Say, why isn't there an ApacheForge? For the time being, there are incubators enough. Though, if someone has the itch for an incubator project to host products with licenses compatible with Apache, the appropriate party to contact with a proposal for such a thing would the Apache Software Foundation. Many SourceForge projects do use the Apache License , and we hope this segment will continue to grow. Indeed using Apache Software license before you make a proposal for becoming an Jakarta project will help ease fears that kudos was a motivator. Do we need to change this now Apache Incubator has been voted for? Also, as far as I know, only Apache may use the Apache License. Should this link to some form of page on how to use the Apache License?

The Welcome and the Sub-projects are the most important parts of the page, followed closely by the News. Other News and Elsewhere probably do not need to be the first thing someone reads. On a legal note, the front page needs to link back to the Apache website itself. Other minor notes: The Welcome in the top left should link to index.html#welcome and not just index.html. The navigation structure needs reviewing. There are 12 front page options, with sub-options.
