Hi, I am following the chapter in this book (http://producingoss.com/) that explains how to create an effective website, pages 22-25. It suggests that a good website provides the following information upfront
1) A clear mission statement 2) States whether this open source is free or not and what license it is under 3) It's content is progressive. It allows the reader to learn more as he reads more. Based on this guideline I re-wrote the text on Tuscany website's main page as follows. It can still be improved. Would you review and comment please? Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Start of website text-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Apache Tuscany free open source project that is licensed under version 2 of the Apache License<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0_>. This project is currently in incubation within the Apache incubator. The aim of the Apache Tuscany is to create, as a community, the infrastructure that simplifies the development of business solutions based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Users of Apache Tuscany can create SOA based solutions by combining new or existing services with little or no programming. They can also alter the solutions easily when business requirements change. The Tuscany project does this by providing implementations for the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) specifications and by providing a Data Access Service that supports SDO. Specifications for SDO and SCA can be found on www.osoa.org. Tuscany integrates with well established Web Services and server technologies such as Apache Axis2, Apache Tomcat and Geronimo. A high level view of the Tuscany runtime is shown below. You can click on the diagram to learn more about specific technologies. Tuscany is supported in Java and C++. <Diagram goes here>
