------------------------------------------
+1 on that webpage, it's a start. Might need some design love, but better then a publicly editable wiki.

Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-61:
-------------------------------------
I agree that it doesn't look very "professional" having the main website redirected to a wiki, but unless the site is more accessible there is a real danger that it won't be updated, which is worse.
I propose that we put up a simple static html site with a minimal amount of introductory material, pointers to the projects resources, and prominent links to the wiki (which is better for fast-moving and volatile documentation).
Attached is something to get us started. Perhaps it could be committed to the site as proposed.html or something to make it accessible during the bikeshedding^H^H^H^Hdiscussion.

-----------------------------------------
Forrest and I are not compatible. I set the site index.html to be a meta refresh to the wiki and updated that on people.apache.org.
So far though nothing has happened.

Johan Oskarsson commented on CASSANDRA-61:
------------------------------------------
As mentioned before I'm not a huge fan of Forrest either (mainly because of the jdk5 requirement).
What other options do we have that covers the following?
* Easy to use for everyone
* We can copy another Apache project's site, saves a lot of time and makes sure it contains all the right bits
* Resulting html is stored in svn, so a simple svn up updates the site
* Website updates can be sent in as patches, so that the committers don't have to maintain it themselves
* Preferably the same utility can be used to create documentation in html/pdf etc (that can both be rolled in the releases and provided on the site)
Do the mentors have any suggestions?
Found a couple of other examples, I know someone posted a list of these but I can't find it now.
* Incubator site suggests this: http://velocity.apache.org/anakia/releases/anakia-1.0/
* Thrift use PHP to generate html if I'm not mistaken

Johan Oskarsson commented on CASSANDRA-61:
------------------------------------------
Wouldn't it be better to have a discussion about alternative ways of creating a site before pointing it to the wiki if Forrest isn't acceptable?
In my opinion having the current wiki as the main project site looks unprofessional, not to mention that it is publicly editable right now.

-----------------------------------------
Having a discussion is great. In the meantime we need a site where people can find how to run Cassandra. :)
If someone wants to step forward and say "I'll maintain the site in html," or forrest, or php, or whatever, then great.
