Link to Xbean site
Should a link be added on the
http://geronimo.apache.org/subprojects.html page to the
http://geronimo.apache.org/xbean/ site? Currently I don't think there
are any links to XBean from the Geronimo site.
The XBean poms also need to be updated with the new website address
instead of http://xbean.org
Thanks,
John

I'm in the middle of something right now, but if you file a jira on
this one, I'll do it when I'm done. If you want to do it, that would
be cool also.

I think it would be better to remove the "Subprojects" page (and the
link to it from the "Development" section) and then just add the
links to the "Subprojects" section just below it on the left-nav.

If that's everything that prevents us from 'announcing' the
subprojects on Geronimo home page, I'm up for removing these 'sample's
and give it a go.

I think you don't want to uncomment... I don't want to see
"sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_" on the

Going directly to the subproject from the nav link (as Dain suggests)
would be consistent with how the Jakarta site works

I agree with Dain.
Though I'd like to note... that if out site was generated from
confluence, and the home pages of each tool was also in confluence
(the same instance), then each subprojects homepage could have an
{excerpt} to describe it and then we could bring back the sub-
projects overview page with links and excerpts with relatively little
management overhead.
But short of doing that I don't think there is much value in trying
to maintain the sub-projects overview page by hand.

I have two problems with this page. It is clear that creating text
for these links is not happening in a reasonable amount of time which
is a strong sign that people don't value this page. Second, I see
this page as link overhead. It is simply some text between me and
the content I desire. Each of the sub projects has a home page and
this is really what I am after, not some brief summary.

Re: Link to Xbean site
Posted by Hernan Cunico <hc...@gmail.com>.
The idea was to have a single page listing all the subprojects and a brief description of what each
subproject is, just a few lines. That brief description should tell enough whether that is the
subproject you (as a user) are insterested on or not.
In addition to this intro page listing all the subprojects there is a new box dedicated to
subprojects with direct links to each of them.
I don't think the subprojects page is a waste as it should be an intro page, I wouldn't remove it.
Cheers!

navigation.xml is not used anymore... the site sources are kind of a

Needs to be added to xdocs/stylesheets/projects.xml
I'm cleaning it up a tad... but don't have the patience to tidy it

We need to get a link to GBuild as well. I attempted to do this, but
updating the navigation.xml appears to do absolutely nothing.

I think we should nuke the top-nav's link to the subprojects page.

Also the Subprojects link in the left hand side menu still exists
when you click the Subprojects up top which I guess there are two
copies of the left-hand side menu, and if so, why?

Ya, because I nuked that page... not remembering it was used in the
top-nav too.
But, the site still has a copy of it... dunno how the /www/* sync is
done, but it appears to not remove old content.

There is a slight error, the XBean link disappears if you click on
Subprojects.

Okay, I agree with this statement... and this is what I did, and it
should be live now:

If this is not what you meant, then please explain...

Yeah, I knew you'd not be happy with the response ;-) I alone wasn't,
so how I could anticipate you would.
What I meant was that something needs to be included in the left-hand
side menu about our subprojects - not pages per se, but references to
appropriate home pages of these subprojects.
(I think it's time to get some sleep and see how things work out
tomorrow. Dobrej nocy!)

Um... remove the page, but don't remove it completely? What on earth

They have, but since they're subprojects or better yet - they're
connected we want to support one another and thus the references.

+1 to remove the page and -1 to remove it completely, i.e. what I
meant was to add a couple of direct links to their pages with no
description of what they are and such. Would that work for you?

Why do we need the subprojects page at all? Each of the subprojects
should have its own home page that describes what it is.
This extra page is a waste... and is another chance to get the site
out of sync as people forget to update in both locations.
Lets remove this page.

Jacek,
I added those entries there and commented them as we still don't have the final "text" to describe
those subprojects. I personally could not find the right wording but hope somebody else can :)
Pls feel free to update the text and uncomment that entry. Make sure you add the link in the
xdocs\stylesheets\project.xml too. (there should be three updates, one to the subprojects, one to
the stylesheets\project and one to the XBean page itself).
Cheers!

I've taken a look at xdocs/subprojects.xml and noticed this:
<!-- <subsection name="GBuild">
<p>
The aim of this subproject is to provide
sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_sample_. More details about
this subproject are available at the <a href="gbuild.html">GBuild
Subproject</a> page.
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="XBean">

The aim of this subproject is to provide

Subproject</a> page.
</p>
</subsection>

Why have these bits been commented out? If they were uncommented, it'd
do the trick, wouldn't it?
I'm going to revert it to the uncommented state, unless someone objects.
