Hi Hernan, I have updated the template to include the 'incubator' log and have attached it to the wiki - http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/55047/TUSCANY_template_2007_5_25_v3.zip
I have tested this locally to be working fine. Could you please help in updating the autoexport plugin with this udpated template. Thanks - Venkat On 5/27/07, ant elder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Apache Tapestry does this well with a latest releases download box on the top right of the home page: http://tapestry.apache.org/. And Spring with the announcement and changelog for the release next to the download link. Some of our download pages seem cluttered and it can be hard to find the link you need even when you know what you're looking for - http://cwiki.apache.org/TUSCANY/sca-downloads.html. Hopefully this will improve if we move to having just bin and src distributions. Could we do something like change this page http://cwiki.apache.org/TUSCANY/tuscany-downloads.html to be similar to Spring and have download links for only the latest release and the CHANGES and RELEASE_NOTES for SCA, SDO and DAS, and link off to some other page for the older downloads? By the way... must we also have the 'incubator logo' ? We used to have > > this. > > > > > I think we should put it on our front page. Looking at other projects some > do and some don't.

According to http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html - "Podlings websites SHOULD contain the Apache Incubator Project logo as sign of affiliation". ...ant
