+1 -- I would suggestion "mentioning" VelocityServlet only to say,
"VelocityViewServlet replaces VelocityServlet. Don't use
VelocityServlet, it's old crufty and deprecated... and if you ask about
it on the mailing list...we'll tell you to read this: Don't use it!"
<grin>

> * TODO (convert to a Road Map)
I had suggested we move over to Jira, had positive feedback on that --
just no word from Geir (I emailed him offlist, still no official
response here, but my understanding is that he wouldn't mind.)

We could put in the infrastructure@ request to move... and then leverage
the Jira Roadmap feature. 

http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy
stem.project:roadmap-panel

I think we'd still want a page with a high-level Summary, but the Jira
Roadmap is a great communication tool. And I'd put this into the Wiki.

> MOVE TO WIKI FROM DOCS 
+1  -- I sometimes think SVN should just contain code + docs +
examples... and most everything else move to the wiki where it's easier
(in my opinion as a non-committer) to make updates. Sometimes. Not
always. ;-)

A simpler left-hand-navigation might be nice too. Less options so maybe
folks will find (and read) what they need to before coming to the list.

-1 on duplicating "Getting Started" as the header and a sub-head.

How about:

<menu name="Velocity">
   <item name="Home" /> 
   <item name="Quick Start" /> 
   <item name="Web Applications" />
   <item name="News & Sites" />
   <item name="FAQ" />
</menu>

I'm thinking on the Home page leave "What is" from the main page, and
add first heading of "Getting Started". Move news and powered by stuff
onto the "News & Sites" page. Move "Design" down into the Docs menu, and
rename to "Architecture". Put Download & Install stuff into "Quick
Start".

BTW -- we ought to use a more direct link to downloads
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_velocity-engine.cgi 

Cheers,
Timo
