Hi,

I've been tinkering with a site redesign for months - I finally got a little 
more oomph and finished a first cut.  It's at
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/temp/

This is both a content and site redesign.  The primary goal was to make the web 
site more accessible to novice users, to remove outdated content, and to clean 
it up a little.  

Specifically, I redid the home page, reorganized the TOC, moved all community 
content to the Wiki, and added a couple of new articles.  Product documentation 
is now 1.4 only.  The site format looks the same but has a new logo and is CSS 
based.  Consequently it now prints cleanly with no menu bar.   (Thanks, Tim for 
the logo and the CSS push!)  

At this point, I could use a little help.  First of all - anyone want to 
volunteer to copyedit (nitpick, please) the new content?  That's
* Home page
* Overview
* Getting Started
* Web Applications

and in the Wiki (just go and and edit)
* DocumentationGuidelines

Obviously for some of these I cribbed from the Wiki and various earlier web 
files - thanks to all original authors.

Second, I'd appreciate any general comments and fixes.  I'm a bit of a CSS 
positioning novice - suggestions on layout are welcome.  

One worry I have is links to the user's guide.  I've moved it to the "docs14" 
folder (to allow for multiple versions).  I'm going to set up a redirect for 
all original links to send them to the new file.  Hopefully this will work.

If the site gets a general thumbs up I'll check it in to source control and 
then (after a comment period) update the web site.

Best, WILL
