[jira] Created: (HADOOP-1016) navigation on wiki front page should
be above the fold
navigation on wiki front page should be above the fold
------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1016
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1016
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Doug Cutting
Priority: Minor
The Hadoop wiki's front page currently has a long textual description of the project above the navigational links. The front page is a starting point not just for project newbies, but also for experienced developers. Thus one should be able to navigate the site quickly from it. I propose that we have a short introductory paragraph at the top of the page, the move the longer introduction either: to a separate "about" page; or underneath the navigational links. I have a slight preference for a separate "about" page. Thoughts?

---------------------------------------
+1. If Wiki had more formatting options (like support for navigation bars (e.g., TWiki)), then that would be a better approach. Given the tool, moving most of the text off to a separate "about" page is probably the best choice.

-------------------------------------------
+1. I think a separate About page is even better, if there's a prominent link to it early on the home page.

[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-1016) navigation on wiki front page should
be above the fold

Jim Kellerman resolved HADOOP-1016.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I thought about putting the links into a two column table (with no borders) to achieve a two column layout. Some of the links are rather long, though and I thought that it might look too crowded in the two column format.
However, the links are now well above the fold and the project description has been moved off to another page.
