[jira] [Comment Edited] (SUREFIRE-955) Surefire top-level website has obscure navigation (at least in Chrome)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-955?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14708555#comment-14708555 ]

After two years the page does not have only navigation being top-level dropdown menus.
First of all  I have to say that this is automatically generated project page. It's not about surefire-plugin only, because it's project adopted from CodeHaus which has three plugins (surefire, failsafe, report) and few more Maven modules.
That's the reason why "about" page because this page refers to parent in our project.

Most probably you want to navigate to maven-surefire-plugin page, therefore chose in the menu "Maven Surefire Plugin".

Seriously we need this page only to get from "Maven Surefire Plugin" page back to project.
Maybe 1% of people are interested in project page and remaining 99% in documentation of surefire plugin.

So what is your wish ?
How can we help you more with useability of our pages?

I guess in surefire project 3.x we will cut the project into three plugins and the page will be project=plugin, but we are not there yet.

> And you will find yourself at an 'about' page with the only navigation being top-level dropdown menus. Maybe this JIRA needs to be redirected to a skin, but it took me several minutes to see how I could get from this page to anywhere else, and I bet others will have the same problem. It also does not comply with Apache trademark guidelines; there are no trademark notices for Maven or Surefire.
