[RESULT] [site] New download pages

8 +1's.

It's now live at:   http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/

I've not tied it into the navigation yet, or put the redirects in place, 
so no user should be hitting it yet.

The navigation plan is to merge the Binaries and Source Code entires on 
the RHS into a single Downloads link and take it and Source Repositories 
into the Support group on the LHS.

Edit xdocs/downloads/downloads.xml and run Ant. I'd noticed that Turbine 
was fairly out of date.

I'll add adding the downloads bit to the jakarta-site docs to the wiki, 
and get around to it soon.

[ back from holidays... ]

I like it. However, is there any docs for the projects how to update
these pages. At least for Turbine it points to an old / outdated
version...

actually, I just looked at the full list of mirrors. That's a bit long :)

Perhaps just a link to that page might be appropriate, as is on the
dyncloser.cgi page.

Cheers,

Good work Henri. Working fine for me.

Just a curiosity for later on that may be more related to the CGI than
these pages - but why are only the local mirrors and backups listed?

I'd have thought a dropdown containing something like:
Local mirrors
------
Other mirrors
------
Backup mirrors

might be better, and perhaps list the countries next to the mirrors.

I just say this because I'm sure some localities are guessed
incorrectly, or there are fewer mirrors and they are down/out of date
and it would be better to point them at a big US mirror rather than
the Apache backup as a next resort.

WDYT?

Cheers,
Brett

Re: [RESULT] [site] New download pages

This is now live :)

'Source Repositories' became 'CVS / SVN' for space reasons. Couldn't think 
of any other way to handle it.

Redirects added. Couple of bugfixes then made for the Cactus and Taglibs 
pages.

I'm going to send an announcement mail to each dev list as they all need 
to know that they can change their download link to their specific page.
