New web site snapshot
Still work in progress so broken links are to be expected.
I'd appreciate early testing and feedback on content on a per-page level in
the spirit of early "integration" testing. Broken links, better carousel
images, and no logo are known issues.
As before, download the zip file, unpack on your workstation, and open
index.html.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxlwNhWxn8iTM0hyUFFMVVdtWjA/view?usp=sharing
I expect to provide a new snapshot every few days to keep going on early
testing. No fix list will provided given the number of Wiki pages I am
converting.
Do spend a little time on the menus and ask yourself what you'd want to
see, if the organization works, etc. A KEY challenge area is to ensure that
users can find information fast.

Thanks,

Hi Gunnar,
Outstanding progress... Most of the critical things are in place with the
right level of information. I like the navigation, the design is slick and
straight forward, simple and rich... Kudos!!!

Hi Gunnar,
I really like the overall feel of the site! Nicely done!
I didn't come close to reviewing the whole thing [yet]. But here are a few
items that I came across today (and I didn't bother writing down the broken
links since you said they are a known issue. I did however note a few links
that should be made clickable. Please disregard those items if they fall
into your "broken link" disclaimer) :
1) The black rectangle on the main page which acts as a caption to the
carousal pictures covers up part of the a few of the pictures when using
Edge (I normally don't use Edge, but that is what came up when I first
clicked on the index.html file). It looks normal with Chrome though. I
chose to continue looking at it in Chrome.
2) FAQs page : I would turn downloads.trafodion.org into a clickable link
(under "When is Trafodion Available")
3) Main page : Should the bullet lists below things like "Understand",
"Use", etc... all be clickable links or just some of them?
4) Typo on the main page. On the "Next Hadoop Wave" black caption box :
"enterprise-clas" --> "enterprise-class"
5) General comment - sometimes links to sites such as Apache and github will
open in a new windows. Sometimes they won't. Should they be consistent or
is there a different rhyme or reason as to why, for example, a github link
might open up a new window for one link but not another.
Thanks. Again, great work!

Thanks Trina!
I'll take care of these. Not sure how to deal with the Edge/CSS issue but
that'll solve itself somehow.

Gunnar, this is great - much more usable! Awesome job. I need to put my
developer hat on and my new-trial-user hat on and my "I want to be a
contributor" hat on and think through my use cases for each, but this is
already a big step forward.
Thanks!!!
