[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-1312) Add dynamic menus, update, links, modern CSS to bigtop site.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14074547#comment-14074547 ]

----------------------------------

I like the idea of adding horizontal boxes for

packaging - smoke testing - virtualization.

Then under each describe what it means , i.e.

packaging : "BigTop Packages hadoop RPMs and DEBs, so that you can manage and maintain your hadoop cluster."

smoke testing : "BigTop provides an integrated smoke testing framework, alongside a suite of over xxxx tests (grep for testXXXX in groovy files under test-artifacts to estimate thisnumber)"

virtualization : "BigTop provides vagrant recipes, raw images, and (work-in-progress) docker recipes for deploying hadoop from zero."

That way people can understand exactly what our project is doing.  Right now there is some confusion in the community, i often here *oh, bigtop also has puppet recipes, cool!* or *wow, you can spin up a hadoop cluster from bigtop artifcats?*.  So lets stop being shy and make it clear what the actual build artifacts are right at the top.

> Its a good time, pending BIGTOP-1311, to overhaul the website.  This will help us to grow a larger community around bigtop, right now.  
> For this JIRA Lets focus on :
> 1) modernizing the CSS so the site "looks cool".  I know it sounds arbitrary, but we all know what "good" sites look like, so lets make the bigtop html pages look like a first class website.
> 2) clarify the 4 main things bigtop brings to hadoop. possibly in a diagram: 
> * provisioning (puppet, vagrant, etc), 
> * testing
> * packaging
> * feeding back info to the individual ecosystem projects.  
> 3) Update any the links where necessary.  
> 4) Update the "users of bigtop" page.  I think now there are many projects which use bigtop bits which might have not yet made a public announcement. 
> Heres a list of steps anyone interested in working  on it.  I think this could be a great intro project for someone new and interested in contributing to bigtop.
> *Steps to complete this JIRA* 
> 1) First implement the changes above.
> 2) Test it by doing mvn site:site , and open the index.html page created in target/ 
> 3) Post the patch here for review
> 4) Commit the patch and then  see the last bit of BIGTOP-1311 jira for directions on deploying it to staging, and pushing it up to full deployment.
