MyFaces Website
Now that its official, what are the plans for the myfaces website. Is
it going to be migrated to myfaces.apache.org? What is the plan for
that and how will the website be written/maintained.
I am going to be writing some documentation for my new tree component
and inputSuggest components shortly and I would like to make these fit
with the new scheme of things. Also, as for the format of the
website, I suggest we do something like the Ant website. Nice and
simple and consistent with the Apache look and feel.
I can work up a sample page for discussion purposes if folks are interested.

I was thinking that it would be great if it was JSF based, but until
that happens, we should just stick w/ Forrest.
+1 for forrest.

+1 from me for Forrest - as we have already started with this
technology, I think we should go ahead with that.
although it would be great to have JSF as a framework for the site ;)

Earlier I suggested we might want to adopt a look and feel similar to
the Ant site. I've attached an image of a mockup of what this might
look like. It still says "ant" in a bunch of places but I didn't feel
like changing everything - you get the idea.
Thanks to Chris Barlow also who provided me the Apache-MyFaces graphic
(I definitely think we should use this on the site.) I'm attaching
the logo graphic separately.

Are we totally committed to using Forrest? I noticed that very few
sites other than the incubator ones use that. I don't know how to use
forrest but I also don't really have much experience with any of the
templates that the various sites seem to be using. So I am willing to
use whichever one the groups decides on. Lets just make sure we pick
the best one!
Also, at some point we should look into changing the CVS repository
from incubator-myfaces to myfaces. I think we might only need to do
mv on the directory but we'll probably want to have everyone check in
their stuff before that happens.
Finally, I think a top order of business should be to have nightly
builds (of examples WAR as well as distribution bundle) available
ASAP. This will make it easier for new users to give us feedback on
our fixes and new features.

I saw infrastructure guys own their own Jira.
So created an issue!

That no problem. only "cp" command on the BSD box
from apache (I am familar with the server folders etc.
... no problem at that)

in CVS src/documentation there is the *code base* for the homepage
in forrest XML. So perhaps that is a good starter ?
see:

I guess ;-)
Ok, I'm traveling this week a bit. So Friday or Saturday
will be chance for me to continue... hopefully... ;-)

Yes, we should build our new homepage as soon as possible.
Matthias Wessendorf has already done a great job (Thanks!) and has moved
many pages from the old wiki page to the new forrest based site at
http://incubator.apache.org/myfaces/index.html
There are still some infos and parts missing on the new website,
particularly the features and component docs.
Unfortunately I'm still under enormous pressure in my current project at
my company. I'm just able to read the most important mails on the
mailing lists and to support MyFaces by being involved in a few
discussions, nothing more at the moment, sorry! But the time will come,
when I again will be able to fully support MyFaces, I promise.
So if we could find volunteers for the following steps, that would be great:
1. Talk to infrastructure guys about myfaces.apache.org domain
2. Move the existing forrest site from
http://incubator.apache.org/myfaces/index.html to
http://myfaces.apache.org (in cooperation with Matthias)
3. Examine the old wiki pages at www.myfaces.org and add everything that
makes sense to the new site
4. Add new or missing infos and docs to the new site - Thanks Sean ;-)
5. Point www.myfaces.org domain to http://myfaces.apache.org (That will
be my part)
Thanks,
Manfred

yes, would be great...
I don't have time to do anything on the webpage, but it would be great
to have much more documentation there!
