Web site

[Carl Trieloff <cc...@redhat.com>]

When we get to the point that we release M1 we should update our web 
site, it is
located at http://incubator.apache.org/qpid/.  I would like to link the 
wiki from
this site as much as possible. To that end I would like to move some of 
the content
around on the wiki to better facilitate that. For example quite a bit of 
the doc/FAQ
etc is common between the different clients and brokers, so many just 
index/ structuring
work.

In addition I am by no means a web designer, to that end if there are no 
objections
I would like to raise a request internally to our design team do a 
version 2 of the
web site for us and contribute that back to the project under a JIRA.

If there are other ideas fire away,
Carl.

yes this is what I would like to do, I would like to create a set of 
frames and menus etc that look really good, and then
pull 90% of the content but linking to it from cwiki. This might mean we 
need to structure the cwiki stuff a bit better.

So I expect that we will do all the text, but would like to get 
professional help to get the look and feel, and portal-ing to
cwiki content working very smoothly.

Hi Carl,

Apologies if there's anything I've misunderstood .....

Imho we should look to export from Confluence to generate static web content
(see JIRA http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-99), so we can keep
rework to a minimum on the content for the web site.

Be great to have some professional input, but maybe we can use the text we
already have to keep the maintenance low ?

Hope I'm on the same page :-)

Regards,
Marnie
