Rick,
This is a major improvement over what we currently have and I really
like how things have been cleaned up and streamlined. I'm sure I will
have some suggestions in the furture but I agree this should be
published ASAP assuming others agree.
Some minor comments that we may want to consider at some point later on:
1. In the Java projects section, splitting things down a bit further
among SCA, DAS and SDO. I think we should make it more apparent the
technologies may be used as well as built independently. Within SCA,
I think we may want to split this even further between extensions and
core at some point.
2. On the Java graphic, we should list more hosting platforms at some
point (e.g. J2EE app servers, OSGi, whatever)

I've added in the news, and moved reporting bugs as suggested,
added a link to the blog and fixed several bad links.
I didn't want the left menu to become cluttered, so I didn't put
in the runtime stuff since I was thinking that information would
be added to the individual Java, C++, DAS etc content pages.
I'm of a different opinion, I think we should now get this sandbox
site up live and use the opportunity that the OSCON BOF gives us to
get first hand feedback. What's the worse that can come of it ?
People don't like this either? Well should that be the case its
best to get that information now before we make it "absolutely
perfect".
I'm really opposed to starting another effort of producing a hybrid
of the two in a mad dash which is not where we wanted to go in the
first place.

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.
