I took sometime today to evaluate what's available today on the live tuscany website and what's being proposed as part of Tuscany-568. Looks like couple page links on the Tuscany-568 are still not implemented ( e.g page not found), but I'm assuming these issues are going to be fixed, so I concentrate on areas that are available today and missing on the new site structure.
Categories: Tuscany: Looks like the new proposed site gets rid of News and Documentation sections, and adds License, ASF, Javadoc and TCK SCA Runtime for Java : Missing on the new site structure SDO for Java : Missing on the new site structure Relational Data Access Service for Java : Missing on the new site structure Sca Runtime for C++ : Missing on the new site structure SDO for C++: Missing on the new site structure Community: Reporting bugs moved to development (altough i think comunity in general is interested on this as well), Requirements missing, Commiters and Documentation section added Development: Java project, C++ Project and Building the site sections are missing. Added Roadmap, Source code, Code standards (link to wiki), Issue tracking (moved from Comunity) and dependencies As I think the main idea was to incorporate user feedback that our website had too many text and very little images, diagrams, etc I have the following suggestion to get a new and improved version on-line for OSCON timeframe : - Maintain the current website outline navigation structure (the one available today on live tuscany website) - Replace the main page with the one proposed on Tuscany-568 - Add an overview page for each module (e.g DAS overview with DAS diagram and high level object diagram), and the main page diagram would link to this module overview page - On the SCA, SDO and DAS section on the left panel, remove the "release" link as they all point to same main download page. With this, i think we could still get an improved version of the site in a short period of time, and then still continue on improvements later on. - Luciano -- ----------------------------------------------------- Luciano Resende SOA Opensource - Apache Tuscany -----------------------------------------------------
