Hi,

with our current organisation of the site with the site opening in a new window, the current svn organisation of having an "unversioned" "site skeleton" does not fit the reality any more ("unversioned" means that there are no branches, and the iste is not tagged if a new release is made).

When the next release will be done, the current version of the site will open "as a whole" in the new window, and thus also the state of the "frame site" is archived (otherwise, the navigation would have to be regenerated for the old version, and we decided to avoid that). So, in fact, the site skeleton is also versioned, but not in svn. I'd like to propose to version the "site" subproject in svn (i.e. create a trunk, branches and tags subdirectoy, move the current content to the trunk), and include the "docs-all-components" project in the site skeleton.

This will have a couple of advantages
- The unnecessary distinction between "docs-all-components" and "site"
  will go away
- Relevant changes have to be done in the site skeleton for a new Release
  (updating links, the navigation etc.). With a tagged site, the old
version if the site could be restored easily.
- We can include the site in the "trunks" directory without creating
  confusion
- We can use the trunks/common/project.xml also for the site, and include
  the developers and contributors list in trunks/common/project.xml
  instead of site/project.xml

NB: This would be just an internal restructuration to simplify the project structure. It will not change anything in the final site (except a few url's).

What do you think ? If I do not hear any objections till next Friday, 10th February, 16:30 CET, I'll do it.

    Thomas
