[VOTE] Cayenne web site

Hi Andrus - is this the right thing to post to the dev list?

----



Some time ago on the user list there was a discussion about  
improvements to the Cayenne web site, and a new design. Over the  
break, most of the remaining issues have been addressed and tests  
performed on getting this to work with Confluence, between Bruce  
Martin, Andrus and myself.


Please look at the following demo site:

http://www.brucemartin.net/cayenne/

Please note the following:

1. Cayenne has left incubator status and therefore the logo in the  
top right will be replaced and the message at the bottom will be removed
2. The copy on the page and the menus to the left are not set in  
stone and not the subject of this vote. They can be changed at any  
time by Cayenne committers with the appropriate access rights to  
Confluence.
3. The site will be deployed within the Atlassian Confluence wiki.  
The demo site is purely static, since Confluence has no way to create  
a test staging area. However we did testing with a secondary offline  
copy of Confluence and it works as expected. There may be further  
effort involved in getting the new stories to display as shown but  
this needs to be done as part of the deployment process. You can see  
the test staging area here http://wiki.objectstyle.org/auto-export/ 
CAYSCRATCH/ but note there are still some cosmetic problems there  
which require clean up. But it works. The edit pages are here http:// 
wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence-scratch/ and will not be styled as  
part of this work.
4. Since ish is based in Sydney where Atlassian are located, and as  
an existing paid customer of theirs, we've already made extensive use  
of their support services.

I'd like to ask for votes on this design, remembering that the vote  
is on the design and concept rather than specific menu structure.

I'll start with a non-binding +1 from me.



The external costs of this work has been sponsored by ish and myself,  
since the design has been created and implemented by a professional  
web designer who I've engaged, in conjunction with my own copywriting  
and design ideas as well as Andrus's guidance.

If we receive a positive vote outcome, then we will proceed to fix  
the remaining cosmetic problems with the Confluence integration and  
put the new site live.

This raises an interesting question... Since wiki and the web site  
are hosted on different machines, we may have to implement some  
syncing mechanism to work around that. Let me check with Apache  
infrastructure team.

CAY is a *wiki* - I.e. collection of ad hoc information.
CAYDOC is a documentation set that is exported to static docs  
included in release.
CAYSCRATCH is currently the site (we may call it CAYSITE or something  
in production).

So how about this - while I am working on solving the infrastructure  
related issues, we finalize the content in CAYSCRATCH. Once  
everything is worked out on both ends, I'll migrate CAYSCRATCH space  
to production CAYSITE.

FYI: http://cayenne.apache.org was been created. For now I am  
maintaining the old incubator site, but now we can go ahead and do  
work for the new site, and publish it when it is ready.

Ari and others, let me know if you need my help on any of that.

Looks good to me. Also:

5. configure ".htaccess" in the site root to redirect to the export  
directory. Let me check with Infra if we can export from cwiki to the  
root directly.

Access to the spaces has to be limited to those folks (not  
necessarily committers) who signed a CLA. You did that already, so I  
added you to the editor group.

I think the steps are:

1. create all pages within Confluence
2. wait for DNS changes (since they affect the template) to be put in  
place
3. upload all the static images (css, png, etc) somewhere
4. put the new template live

I am a little confused about the different spaces in confluence and  
what access right they each have. I saw a typo the other day I was  
going to fix, but then I think only committers have edit access to  
the main doc pages. Can this be loosened somewhat to encourage more  
people to contribute, or is there a requirement that the official  
documentation be given the same control as the source itself?

Since different ppl. will be working on different things, I wouldn't  
hope much that we can do a coordinated site launch. Maybe we should  
create a scratch space at cwiki.apache.org (CAYSITE?), and start  
doing the content work pending the final design template and the

It might make sense to push a little bit on the following issues, too:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1079
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1081

That way all of this can be taken care of all at once.

So. let's tally the vote.

+1 Ari Maniatis
+1 Kevin Menard
+1 Andrus Adamchik
+1 Malcolm Edgar
+1 Michael Gentry

This is the case of lazy consensus, so we won't wait for 3 PMC votes  
and move ahead. Ari submitted signed scans of the CLA forms already  
via email, so we should be clear on that front as well (Jim do we  
accept those? I think we do)

So once we replace the logo (and solve remaining design issues if  
any), I'll check in the auto-export confluence template (that also  
contains the menus) to SVN, so that we could apply it to our main  
space with CAY key, and update it as needed. From there we can start  
porting the contents.

Re: [VOTE] Cayenne web site

Posted by Jim Jagielski <ji...@jaguNET.com>.
Nice design by the way...

Yeah, there are some copy changes required, but the look is nice.

Re: [VOTE] Cayenne web site

Posted by Michael Gentry <bl...@gmail.com>.
I think the basic layout, fonts, presentation, etc, are all really
nice.  It is clean and modern and I think it would be a fantastic
start to a new web site (obviously, we'd still need to freshen the
content).  The menus on the left even work great in Safari and are not
obnoxious (they are a good size, easy to navigate to and select, and
get out of the way when you move the mouse out of the cell).  +1 to
using this after all the IP issues are resolved.

Also, the Cayenne logo on that page reminds me.  Didn't we talk at
some point of updating the logo to mention Apache Cayenne?  Or am I
just in need of more caffeine?

Thanks!

+1 from me.

Aside from the IP issues that I am sure we will solve, the design is  
great and I love the fact that we will switch to Confluence for site  
updates. And yes, at this stage we are voting whether to accept the  
design template. If and when we do, we'll start the actual work  
setting up the confluence space.

Thanks Bruce and Ari for the awesome work!

If the designer (Ari?) has an iCLA on file, then it's actually
not all that crucial to be honest...

Hi Marie,

AFAIK there is a known issue with hotmail that marks confirmation  
emails from the mailing list as spam. I am working on unsubscribing  
you manually. If you still keep getting the emails after a few days,  
email me directly. Sorry for the trouble.

Hello everybondy

Sorry to put this message in the conversation but I've got a problem with 
the diffusion group.
In fact I'm not working on my Cayenne project for 7 monthes now and I still 
receive your email.
I've sent a lot of email to quit but nothing seems to work.
So please could you remove me from the list?
Many thanks
Marie

I just posted a question on legal-discuss. According to Jim  
Jagielski, we'll have to request a CCLA from ish who is the copyright  
owner of the design:

More background info than anything, but we may be needing their  
services somewhat again to help nail some of the last issues.

Yes. I'd like to propose that this design be used for the site. That  
is what the vote is for - I should have been clearer.

Of course I'd ensure all copyright was assigned. My purpose in doing  
this was to firstly to support a worthwhile project in the best way I  
can (since I don't have the time or expertise to work on the code,  
what I can do is support those who do) and secondly because my  
business relies on Cayenne, then the strength of the project helps us.

I'm happy for this bit of design and html either be put into the  
public domain or copyright assigned to Apache as appropriate.

Is this pertinent in some way or just background info on how you ensured
compatibility?

I'm not sure what the vote is about.  A vote has to elicit an outcome
and it's not clear from the proposed vote what the outcome is.  I
imagine you're raising a vote to use this new design as the layout for
the Cayenne Web site.  Or are you just looking for overall consensus
over whether or not the current state of work looks useful to Cayenne
for a future project?  Anyway, some clarification would help.

Thanks for your efforts.  And while I'm at it, thanks to all those
companies that have allowed their employees to work on Cayenne in some
capacity.

I imagine you are okay with assigning the copyright of this work over to
the ASF?  I know it sounds silly to ask, but I was actually involved
with another project where a guy did something similar and he would only
sign over copyright if his company name and logo were scattered
throughout the site.  Needless to say, we dropped his contribution.
