[SITE] Samples of site with different CSS settings
I've uploaded the current site to my pao directory:
http://people.apache.org/~sebb/incubator/
This was created using a reworked site.vsl that creates relative links
where possible, so the LH menu should work OK
the directories are:
current - as for existing CSS files
bootstrap - css files as per original commit of bootstrap
I can easily create other samples with different CSS files for comparison.
[Note - I dropped the audit and altRMI folders and some other stuff to
make the site smaller]

I suggest removing the old demos called:
clutch-bootstrap
clutch-current
crossley
I will deal with the Clutch table and its link colours
as a completely separate issue.

Could people please just concentrate on the rest of the site.
I have already been addressing the Clutch table and colours
(and other aspects of its page) as we have moved through these
many simultanteous changes.
Please see http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#notes-2
I will do another set of colour-blindness simulations,
using a link colour scheme applied *only* to this table.
However, i need to go away soon for the weekend.

Note that there is no distinction between links and plain text in
either case (except on hover).
I think that needs to be fixed.

for clutch, adding this CSS works for me:
#clutch .cool1, #clutch .cool1 a { color:white; }

Unfortunately the colours don't work with the clutch table:
http://people.apache.org/~sebb/incubator/bootstrap/clutch.html#clutch
compare that with
http://people.apache.org/~sebb/incubator/current/clutch.html#clutch
Also, headings with anchors look like links.
Yes, we can fix the clutch colours separately, and rework the headings
to avoid the anchor problem.
Are there any other issues with the bootstrap variant?

IMO you should - I'm still hoping for something more revolutionary,
but yours is better already. I'd remove the black border though, to
make it more Tufte-y [1]

Here is an incremental improvement I did a while back, designed to be drop-in
compatible with the current graphic:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-112
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12478522/egg_logo.png
Nobody objected, but I just got lazy and didn't push it the last mile, onto
the site.

Thanks for this - I prefer the bootstrap variant with the subtler colors.
A nice side-effect of improving the site looks is that it should
prompt someone to improve the incubator logo ;-)

I just changed the "About the Apache Incubator" header on the first
page to use <h2 id="xxx"> instead of <a name="xxx">.
This was the alternative fix I discussed previously.
It would mean just about every page would change.
But if combined with moving to relative hrefs that would reduce the
SVN commit noise.
