Re: Rework the Apache VCL website?
CMS has been set up: http://vcl.apache.org/index.html
We need to start discussing the design. I looked around at other ASF
sites. I like how rave.apache.org is simple and organized with a left
nav bar, and how there is a single documentation link rather than
displaying multiple sets for each version.
I think the first step is to create a basic template with a navigation
bar so that content can start to be added.
Committers should have access to edit things after installing the
bookmarklet at the bottom of this page:
https://cms.apache.org/
Also review the CMS reference:
http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html

I think adding the IRC web chat to the new layout would be great,
people wouldn't need the irc cilent to chat or get help from
#aslvcl
+ would hopefully bring more people to chat

Re: Rework the Apache VCL website?

I like the suggestions. I have updated
http://vcl.staging.apache.org/index.html.
I also worked on the css file. It's very basic. Any help from
someone with an eye for design is greatly appreciated.
It would be nice to figure out some way for the left nav bar to expand
based on the page you're on.
I'm going to start migrating the content from Confluence, starting
with the pages under Information.

Thanks Josh,
I like the general categories you set up. I would probably be a little more terse in the naming of the links:
General
* About
* Downloads
* License
* FAQ
Documentation
* Installation
* User's Guide
* Managing Images
* Administration
Community
* Get Involved
* Mailing Lists
* Wiki
ASF
* Apache Software Foundation
* Thanks
* Become a Sponsor
I like the idea of having a FAQ page, though perhaps that could be part of a wiki?
I think the "Requirements for using VCL" should be part of the Installation guide (which I think should go under Documentation). I wasn't sure how VCL Installer Docs differed from Installation Guide, but having both links is confusing.
I would also take out "Latest Release", since the "Downloads" page should contain that information.
I was unclear what "VCL Support" meant so I wouldn't include it.
I also would remove "Becoming a committer" because that should be part of the "Get Involved" page. Finally, I might add a link for a wiki, since ASF will provide access to one if we wish -- do you think that would be useful for the project?

I started putting together a nav area. It's just a start at some ideas I
thought might make it easier for people to find the information they are
looking for. I committed the changes, but did not publish them to production.
