So what's the final word on this?
Seems like we have mostly "yeahs" for this change.
This doesn't seem an accurate summary of the feedback received: Jacques and
Pierre expressed a positive feedback; Christian seems neutral; I am against; no
one else expressed an opinion yet.
It is really too early to come up to such a conclusion.
I did not express a positive feedback, I simply noted that Nick was
right about not being a load issue. So basically I'm still neutral.
Can we get it done?
I understand that companies are interested in getting free marketing (SEO etc..) from
independent and authoritative sources like the official OFBiz site and the ASF in
general, and this adds some pressure on the OFBiz PMC and project. However, as I already
stated, I will be against any changes, e.g., adding a link on the "top menu",
that may convey the impression that the project officially supports or even approves any
content on which there is no control, e.g., the content of wiki documents.
I don't agree that we (PMC) have no control on the wiki. I monitor any
change on Confluence and when I disagree I react.
Specifically, the links you want to add in the top menu point to the following
documents:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Service+Providers
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+List
for which there is no control or rules on who, what and how information can be
published, and there are links that potentially violate the trademarks policy
of OFBIZ and ASF.
After a cursory review of the content of these documents I would be even
tempted to propose the removal of the links from the documentation page, rather
than adding them to the top menu (and I am a bit surprised to see that a PMC
member may be in favor of adding them there).
Please could you point the issues you see there? I believe we should
trust the community and if there are issues on these pages we should fix
those issues, this is our duty.

It shouldn't prove to difficult to have menu items in the menu bar of the

discussions around what was published in the official website and the
current website is the result of those.

I think you have a point Nick,
We could add those without expecting load issues on Confluence indeed.

Pierre: "attract some more participation" -- exactly.
I did see a response about the original change to omit these from the
home page - I can't imagine that we have enough traffic to stress any
server.
If there is general agreement who can make the change?

I agree with the above.
Not only will it deliver on the marketing aspect, but it might also
attract
some more participation.

This was a bit like that before,

But has been moved down because of conflicting opinions. I don't
remember
clearly...
What are others opinions?

All,
Whenever I look at pretty much anything these days I look for a
"clients" link to see who is using a product or service.
If I'm looking to use a piece of software and review at the vendor's
site I will often look to see who are the partners (integrators) are
--
as a client I would be looking for some comfort level that the
product
or service will well supported.
For OFBiz this is hidden under the "documentation" tab, at the
bottom of
that page, in small font and labelled "Users of Apache OFBiz".and
"Apache OFBiz Service Providers". Documentation to me is just that, a
list of user and technical documentation, white papers etc.
Could these two links to main navigation bar? I would suggest that
the
main navigation is:
Home
Download
Community
Service Providers
Who is using OFBiz?
Documentation
