[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16115?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17242769#comment-17242769 ]
Melissa Logan commented on CASSANDRA-16115:
-------------------------------------------
Following up with the latest: the two dev teams have been meeting to explore which direction to go and will be moving forward with Antora for the main site. Front-end dev began week of Nov. 9 and has continued to present; and all sub-page designs will be complete this week.
The content is complete with the exception of case studies and resources pages, which will be gathered up until the publish date. We should have an idea of updated go-live date likely next week.

> This task is related to CASSANDRA-16066 (Update and rework the cassandra-website material to work with Antora). The goal is to update the front-end of the C* website (design, IA and content) to work with Antora to help modernize the website as discussed on the [mailing list|https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cassandra.apache.org/msg15537.html].
> *Design Concepts:* A minimum of two homepage design concepts will be created and shared for input, which will help standardize a brand palette for C* and a design language for the site. This may include custom iconography and graphics. The chosen design language will be used to develop the remaining templates.
> *Template Design*: It's estimated that 7 template designs will be needed including the creation of several new pages:
> * Homepage template
> * Toplevel template - e.g. Community.
> * General template - Mostly textual with some images, e.g. Intro, Quickstart
> * “Library” template - A library of assets (links, downloads, logos etc) that are sortable by metadata, e.g Resources, or Kafka's Powered By page).
> * Blog landing template
> * Blog single template
> * Docs template
> *Website Content:* Along with new design will be a need for new or updated content to fit the new page layouts. The intention is to use as much as possible from existing content, and augment with new content where needed.
> *Template Development:* This includes the frontend development, such as any HTML markup to achieve designs. HTML would be crafted so as to preserve any backend/API calls, such that content is pulled in as designed. The majority of the frontend work would come in the form of crafting CSS to bring the designs to life, plus any minor Javascript to add subtle delights to key pages.
> *Style Guide*: Once all is complete, a Style Guide be added to GitHub for contributors.
> The [cassandra-website|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-website] repository would need to be modified. Specific changes to be determined.
