Yeap, I am working on the masthead, I will show you a few options soon.

Yes. PDFs via signed email are accepted since May. See email from Justin on board:
Please remember that CLAs can be filed
electronically now. You can send PGP/GPG-signed emails with the
scanned PDFs of the signed CLA form to secretary@apache.org and
legal-archive@apache.org. This removes the need to fax or send
physical mails of the CLA.
I wonder why regular signed email is not mentioned...

Not sure, but this is about the legal system catching up with advances
in technology...
There are quite a lot of this type of paper work we have to sort out
this week here at the office, so one more shouldn't be a problem.

Isn't it possible to send in CCLA/ICLA documents as scanned documents either? I
remember some disucussions some months ago but don't know what the outcome was.
Does anybody know?

I guess I need to sign off a CCLA as well. We will do this, although logistics

OK, I will do that.
I will do some changes and have Helma (thanks!!) to upload the html to
show everyone, once the design can be confirmed, how do I go about
patching it to the current design? Or should I just send the file to
someone who has the right to do just that?

The problem is not Daisy specific but caused by the design of the export tool.
Each artifact, that we produce, can have its own documentation. "Own
documentation" means that it consists of one navigation tree document and
documents that are linked from there.
For example, let's assume that we want to have a breadcrump navigation like
ASF > Apache Cocoon > Cocoon Blocks > Cocoon Forms > [Introduction]. When the
"Introduction" document is exported, we have access to the document name
"Introduction" and we know that it is part of the "Cocoon Forms" documentation.
We also know that we are producing the "Apache Cocoon" documentation and that
Cocoon is a "ASF" project.
What we *don't* know is that "Cocoon Forms" belongs to "Cocoon Blocks". I have
to think more about how to pass the value "Cocoon Blocks" to the invoked Maven
Daisy plugin without having to set the value in each and every plugin
configuration.
[after reading my mail again before sending it] I think that having global
properties in cocoon/trunk/pom.xml with the values "Cocoon Blocks", "Cocoon
Core" etc. and using them in the Maven Daisy plugin configuration should be good
enough.

That's the caveat: if the page is not in the navtree, there is no

What's the (Daisy?) issue here? It sure is possible to have

Thien,
I'm not sure if anybody has pointed you yet to the new documentation which is in
some ways different to what you can find at http://cocoon.apache.org. Have a
look at http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/dev-docs/. Especially I want to draw your
attention to following things:
- Each deployment unit has its own consistent documentation, e.g.
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/dev-docs/core-modules/core/2.2/ or
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/dev-docs/blocks/forms/1.0/489_1_1.html
At the upper right corner you can find the name of the current documentation
unit.
- we have a main menu containing "Cocoon Core", "Subprojects", Cocoon Blocks"
and "Maven plugins". This has to appear on each and every page as it is the
only way to jump between documentation units.
- The homepage currently consists of the "getting started - getting better -
getting involved" table, the news, an overview of the main versions and
a general explanation of what Cocoon actually is. These pieces of
information should find their space in the new homepage design too. IMO
the "Getting ..." table should be the eye-catcher number 1.
- The left-hand navigation can be up to 4 levels deep.
- Although I would like to have it, it is difficult for us to
maintain a "breadcrump navigation" like
Apache Cocoon > Cocoon Blocks > Cocoon Forms > [Introduction]
as we can't auto-generate them using existing (meta) data. As long as we
don't have a good idea of how to do it, we should avoid having one.
If you have questions, don't hesistate to ask!

What I'll do next is to improve #3 a little and we are good to implement

After the great feedback from the community we should define how to proceed from
here. Thien, what do you expect from us next? Do you expect us picking one
design and you continue from there?
- o -
And, as it was discussed recently on the Apache legal list, a design is a
copyrighted creation and if you haven't already provided, we need a license
agreement so that we are allowed to use it.
Thien, the best option for this would be getting an ICLA
(http://apache.org/licenses/#clas) from you. Could you please go through the

Foundation? Otherwise just let us know what is unclear to you. Thanks!

I like this one a lot but the "cocoon" is hard to see on a color
matched monitor with the contrast and brightness correctly set, I
think you need to bump up the contrast.

The green seems a bit too bright for me, I like the bottom blue area.
The bottom blue with the tag line might make a very good combination
if combined with the top bar from number 1.

Sort of neat, a little bit too pastel for me, maybe try it with
slightly bolder colors? Where do you envision the "Search" going on
this one?

Interesting, a little heavy on the left hand side, maybe the Cocoon
logo could move, or the hills and cluds could be more evenly
distributed? It seems to take up maybe just a bit too much vertical
real estate.

I've been critiquing this kind of stuff for too many years, so don't
take me too seriously, it seems to be a habit to nit pick this kinds
of stuff to death... Overall I've got to say that you've done some
really good work heref, I'm impressed.

Same here, I would say #2 is my favorite, followed by #3.
Really nice work Thien, thanks a lot!
Helma, your comments cracked me up... because #4 struck me as too
cartoony, and I was also going to describe it as "like WinXP meets
Teletubbies" :-) :-)
My only quibble about #2.... I have always disliked that phrase "web
glue for your web application development needs". Maybe I just don't
have positive associations with glue; anyway, when I work with Cocoon
it does not particularly feel like I am working with something gluey.
The qualities of glueyness are not ones that one associates with a
framework. "Glue" IMHO doesn't harmonize well with the idea of
"contracts", which Cocoon pushes a little bit (maybe not quite as much
now as in the past, but IMHO that's a good thing). The #2 design
incorporating that text sort of elevates this phrase to the level of a
slogan, which I don't like. OTOH, I think something needs to go there
:-).. the design now would, to my eye, look incomplete without it!
Some kind of text, but what?
anyway, great stuff, thx again!
:-)

Although I like the lightness and the colors, I immediately got an
association with Windows XP's default theme, also dubbed here "TeleTubby
theme". If you could change the link to "nature" (after all a 'cocoon'
is a natural thing) to something different this one would really stand out.

Sure, the individual pages are there just to give a better impression of
how the masthead looks on an actual page.
I hope I was not too harsh. ;-)

your intention was quite obvious to me here .. This design is my
favourite mainly because the block metaphor will become increasingly
apparent in next Cocoon versions.
Perhaps you could visualize the tiles differently, putting them more
apart and somehow interconnect them with something, lines or *cough*
tubes of some sort ? Or perhaps try to give the tiles a more 3d-ish look
so they become more block alike ?

well it immediately made me think of spring and consequently Spring, not
a bad association at all IMO.

Thanks Helma,
A little explanation to the visuals.
1. Typical masthead design, the dark area has the word "cocoon" drawn in
a Lego-like look .
2. Tried a few other colors, find that green match quite well with the
logo's blue, here's a simple and nice layout, with a bit of Web2.0 touch
3. Trying to describe the lightness and agility of cocoon with randomly
positioned square that can be taken out or repositioned without
affecting each other....ok, maybe not too obvious :D
4. Cocoon and nature, probably not the most appropriate association, but
I wish this tells something about the framework's being easy and
friendly to use.
Some modifications need to be made to the left navigation to match the
new masthead, once it has been chosen.

Re: [graphics] Masthead artwork for cocoon.apache.org
Posted by hepabolu <he...@gmail.com>.
Hi everyone,
Thien has kindly provided some awesome designs for the masthead. Thanks
Thien!
I've put them up at:
http://people.apache.org/~hepabolu/all.html
The 'all' page contains all designs at once for easy comparison, the top
line contains links to four identical mockups with one of the mastheads.
I'll share my opinions later to avoid immediate bias.
Bye, Helma
