Website changes for the JMS client

[Robbie Gemmell <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have been working on some changes for the website to accomodate the
new JMS client once its vote is complete and we start to publish it. I
lifted a starting point from some work Justin was doing and then built
from there.

I have put up an initial copy of the output up for viewing. I deleted
all but the current release areas to reduce the size, so note that the
older release pages+docs wont work, and the new clients download links
are obviously not functional yet either. You can view the site at:

http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/jms/0.1.0/website/

What do people think of the changes? My main questions were around
whether we should give a more prominent link on the download page for
the old client for a bit longer during transition, and whether the 0-x
client is exposed enough on the component pages to avoid too much
confusion?

Regards,
Robbie

To aid those looking, the main changes from the live site other than
the new Qpid JMS release page are:
# The JMS component page is updated to cover the new client initially
and then link out to a couple new sub-pages for the AMQP 0-X JMS
client and the old 1.0 client (which refers back to the new 1.0
client), giving more prominent linkage to the 0-x client.
# The main download page links to the new AMQP 1.0 client and the 0-x
client in the main grid, with the new clients entry having ^ to alert
a link to the old 1.0 client area further down the page.
# The Qpid 0.32 release page retains its existing download links to
the 0-x client and old 1.0 client, but also gets a ^ to alert a
references to the new 1.0 client.
# The maven page (linked from downloads) is updated to give info for
the new AMQP 1.0 client and the AMQP 0-x client, with the details for
the old 1.0 client moved to its new page mentioned above and then
referenced from the main maven page.

I agree - it looks really good.

Ok, I have pushed the site update out now. I made a few small tweaks
from the preview, mainly around the names/locations of a few links for
clarity, plus actually fixing the download links. Any further ideas
people have we can change from whats now there.

I think its about right as you have it. It's still fairly easy to find 
the older/other clients, since the pages are not too cluttered, but the 
focus is on the new one which is what I think we want.
