Is there any chance of keeping the coverage reports somewhere ?

Thanks for your comments! So it seems that we have a consensus to go
ahead.

Next steps:
- clean actual /trunk/site
- create the new site project
- deploy it
All changes will be only for /trunk

I hope to finish this week end.

Cheers,

Hi folks,

Our current website was deployed a loooong time ago and we already
discussed here to make a recast and find a place to put our
documentation.
The related issues could be SHINDIG-283 and SHINDIG-799.

I propose to go ahead with a Maven based site. For those they are not

aware with this technology, you could always read [1] for more
informations.

Basically, Maven uses inside Doxia which supports several markup formats:

APT (Almost Plain Text), Confluence, Simplified DocBook, FML (FAQ
Markup Language), FO, iText, LaTeX, RTF, TWiki, XDoc (popular in
Apache land), XHTML
For Eclipse users, M2eclipse plugin [2] has an optional Maven Doxia
editor.

Pros:

* having documentation for a given version (ie 1.0.x 1.1.x) and storing

in svn
* doc independent on the implementation (ie java PHP)
* reporting
* pdf

Cons:
* deployment need sync (ASF infrastructure)
* potential learning curve on the Doxia formats

Ok but where is the website?

I am inspired by the Opensocial Foundation website.

You will see an (unofficial) Shindig logo. I propose also to have a
Logo Contest to find our logo!

I created some logos (in SVG format) and I plan to create a Wiki space

for the contest.

All your comments are welcome!

Cheers,

Vincent
