[discuss] adopt a new skin for commons sites
Hi all guys,
at Maven we have just released a new skin[1], I quickly did an
experiment and applied it on my beloved digester, deploying the site
on my personal [2] ASF space.
WDYT? Is there any chance to have it applied here at commons?
It would involve a little modification to the parent pom[3].
Any feedback would me much more than appreciated, many thanks in advance!

I agree on those.

I agree the information links could/should be tidied.
In particular, the License link is incorrect.
However, people may expect to find an About link, so I'm not so sure
about removing that.
The tidyup should be done regardless of any change to the skin.
And I assume (hope!) it is independent of any change to the skin.

Some reports are displayed by default and completely useless in my
opinion, for example the project plugins and the plugin management pages:
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/plugins.html
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/plugin-management.html
The "About" link under "Project Information" is also redundant with the
"Home" link. And the Apache License is also linked twice.

I agree the source is important, but not the sporadic misaligned braces
in a random snapshot of the code that was used to publish the site.
These reports would be meaningful if they were generated automatically
as part of a continuous build system.

+1.
The reports are not displayed by default, so I don't see what the problem is.
Besides, as Luc says, they are useful to some.
As to Checkstyle - remember that the ASF releases source primarily.
So if someone wants to work on extending the source, it is a
potentially important factor.

People who discover the product for the first time and want to see if it
is stable or good quality are interested.
In fact, I even miss the cobertura reports on the public site that have
been removed in some components.

Simo,
I love the new skin. I would love to see this instead of the old stuff
for commons. Who really is attracted by a site design like that we
have now (in times of designed computers, iphones etc)? It seems to me
many youngster contribute to the projects with the best looking sites,
not to the projects which have the most use :-)

Not sure if fluido does it out of the box, but if not, we can easily
add this functionality. It is just a few lines javascript and css.
Actually the bootstrap css makers recommend "prettyprint":
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#typography
(look for "pretty" then you see it quickly)
Somehow I was pretty sure Simo already mentioned this is included.

Fluido uses the "container-fluid" container, which is the
recommendation for doc sites. But you can "fix" the size of the
content columns but adding a css class like for example: <div
class="span10">text</div>

I like the skin. Does it also provide syntax highlighting for Java
snippets ?
I haven't tested the skin on a wide screen, does it expand on the whole
width or is there a maximum width? The readability is usually considered
better when the lines of text aren't too long.
A new skin could be the opportunity to rethink the content of the sites.
In particular I find the menus too verbose and messy. The Maven reports
are often useless for a public website, for example who cares about the
Checkstyle or the Findbugs reports besides the developers?

Well congratulations to Simo!
This looks like a great opportunity for Commons to influence Maven.
If Simo (or others) doesn't want to take the time to address the site
issues we have directly, then perhaps he can review patches from local
Commons Maven gurus who do want to take the time to fix things.
I'm just trying to nudge :)

There are a couple of Maven PMC members who are also Commons PMC members. Simone was recently elected a committer on Maven so he has the ability to fix anything he needs/wants to.

Do we have a Maven Jira?
Any interest in a short burst of [commons] energy from this ML to
address these kinds of issues with [maven]? Site generation comes up
over and over. Do we have any contact with Maven developers?

The changes I did for Commons are actually needed on other ASF projects.
For example, they are also used on HttpComponents.
The problem is that the Maven site generation is not flexible enough,
particularly for multi-component projects.

Does the skin involve more than just CSS changes?
If not, then it would be easy enough to replace the Commons CSS with
the updated version if people agree with the new look.
Note: this is another restriction of Maven site generation - AFAIK
it's not possible to change the template independently of the CSS.

Re: [discuss] adopt a new skin for commons sites
Posted by Simone Tripodi <si...@apache.org>.
While the l'n'f can be easily changed - it is just a matter of assign
styles - not all strict commons customizations are not included in the
skin, since it is a general skin with the purpose to serve not only
commons.
I don't see other solution ATM than forking the skin if we intend to
apply it, but after all the effort I already put on it, this is
something I don't want to be involved ATM, I want to come back
developing code and not doing the designer for a while.

The Commons Logo and link are not working.
I had to add some special code to the Velocity template to get round
bugs in Maven site generation.
The logo and link use a dummy url suffix to ensure that they are not
converted into relative URLs. You have to remove the following from
the end of the URLs:
.remove.invalid
There's similar trickery for the image processing.
As a temporary hack I suggest you manually fix the output so at least
we can see what it *should* look like.
Having said that, I find the page a bit harder to read, because the
introduction takes up far too much space.
Also, the RHS links are missing. We need to provide a links to
ApacheCon and the ASF.
And the trademark notices at the bottom are missing. These are also required.
I spent a lot of time getting that working (again, because of
deficiencies in Maven site generation).

Agreed - why not raise enhancement requests for this?
Even send a patch??

The reports can give you a feel for the level of attention to detail a
project has. I say "can" and not "do" because they can be configured
to ignore a lot. It's too bad the reports don't show how they are
configured as part of the report.
