If we don't use a fixed size for the menu, the whole menu will move up 
and down depending on the number of entries. I am not sure what is 
better but just decided for one approach.

This would be great but some links cannot work. Mostly to things which 
are located on the Tapestry server but not on mine.

Any feedback is great, because there might we broken links.

Hello,

I finished a number of issues for the new website and staged it to 
http://tapestry.laliluna.de/
The website update is close to come to an end. I would be fantastic if 
some people could test the page and give a feedback on this.

Home page is reorganized and has two additional sections. Can a native 
speaker check the text.
Screencasts are integrated
Stylesheets are aligned to logo colors and work without JavaScript as well
Documentation is cleaned up
Navigation is improved. The correct menu opens, if you click somewhere
new intro page for the contribution menu
maven page is added to the download. The content was taken from the 
tapestry-project site

TODO
The feature page
User guide, either reference the user guide in tapestry project or move 
it to the website area.

Re: Website preview - update 2 - WARNING to core committer

[Sebastian Hennebrueder <us...@laliluna.de>]

Hello,

I have integrated some documentation files from the 
tapestry-project/src/site into the new documentation.
As a consequence, we need to take care that those files are not updated 
or changes are merged into the new docs.

I used revision r811842 to copy the tutorial, faq, deployment-notes for 
app servers, release-notes, upgrade-notes

Open content is
the user guide
contribution pages
and the pages from the website tasks

Documentation menu has a scrollbar. I think it's better to get rid of it.

Sebastian, first of all thanks for your efforts!

Grouping links into categories (menus) is a very good thing.

I have a few suggestions:

1. "http://tapestry.laliluna.de/" :

1.1 "Apache Tapestry is an open-source framework"

- add "component-oriented" . As for me it's a very important feature
to be mentioned as soon as possible.

1.2 "Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each
constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure"

- add something like this after the first sentence:

 "This allows to drastically encapsulate functionality and layout of a
logical page part (component), which increases its maintainability and
reusability"


2. The current menu item sometimes changes when a user selects submenu
item. I think it's very confusing and better be avoided. Here are the
details:

2.1 There is a strange "ghost" menu item "official tutorial" that is
shown when you press "Getting started" menu item. Pressing its submenu
items leads to confusing menu movements.

2.2 "Documentation" -> "User guide" actually switches to the top level
"User guide".

Re: Website preview - update

Hello,
I tried to limit the number of menu entries to 7. The magic number of 
items you can overlook.

I removed the 'Getting a first impression' area and moved the content 
into the 'About Tapestry' area. We can still make a block on the front 
page to help user.

The user guide requires a nested navigation. My first idea, was to move 
it to a Tapestry sub module, which has the advantage, that we can modify 
the menu (remove items). I tested a kind of pure documentation sub 
project. This approach wasn't very nice as you have menu items of the 
main level (about, support, download) which suddenly disappears. You can 
find this effect on the current website, if you visit tapestry modules 
like tapestry-ioc, the tutorial etc.
As a consequence, I reverted the change and moved the user guide as 
special item to the main area. This allows to have two sub levels in the 
user guide.

I merged the Tapestry modules and the page for external modules into a 
common menu area.

Furthermore, I moved the project information, which is a kind of default 
into 'About Tapestry'. I believe that finding the contained information 
(JIRA, Mailinglist, Subversion) is still intuitive. JIRA and Mailinglist 
can additionally found in the support area and the subversion is 
referenced in addition in the download area.

What do you think?
