[LOGO] site with Fluido skin and owl logo
I created a branch in svn to test in my own browser
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/site/branches/fluido/
and here is the "mvn site" result:
http://people.apache.org/~hboutemy/site-fluido-owl/
HTH

At least one anyway. I, myself often read docs on my phone browser, hence a
strong proponent of responsive UIs. I can also confirm that the site
doesn't work very well due to layout issues on my phone.

yes
and IMHO, it should more be like RWD: ok to remove the side bars on mobile
phone, but keep them on desktop

The very first thing I did when I say the link from Hervé was open it on my
phone... We should make it readable when you do that ;-)

Probably few if any will visit it to download maven on their phone. But a
lot of people are reading this on their phones or tablets. And if there's a
link in an email I am not going to fetch my laptop to visit it.

I think the total number of people using a mobile phone to visit the maven
website would be zero.
most common purpose of using Maven. The develop Maven page should be
pushed onto another landing page too.
This would allow the use of larger, more readable fonts as well as there is
less clutter.
I'm no web design guru, but all the online courses I've been reading over
the last 6 months have had the Maven site redesign in mind.

I think the total number of people using a mobile phone to visit the maven
website would be zero.
I think the left side bars is useful, but too cluttered.
The right side bar is also useful because it has all the related links but
takes up a lot of room.
At the moment the focus is on a new user, which most people are once in
their Maven experience.
We should make it easy for the new user to find the landing page for
download and the new user tour, and then redesign the front page for the
most common purpose of using Maven. The develop Maven page should be
pushed onto another landing page too.
This would allow the use of larger, more readable fonts as well as there is
less clutter.
I'm no web design guru, but all the online courses I've been reading over
the last 6 months have had the Maven site redesign in mind.

Aha! This may explain why, at the very moment that 16:9 monitors are
becoming ubiquitous, websites are all being redesigned as a skinny
rivulet of text down the center of a broad snowfield.

If the vote is successful I'll commit the SVG originals, and we can slice
and dice, eg maybe keep the owl out of the top bar, add an owl favicon, and
rework the overly busy front page.
I also think we should remove the side-bars (and perhaps switch to a top
bar menu) as they hinder mobile accessibility. We can use hopscotch to let
people know where the stuff is, much like clicking the "Take a tour" button
on the junit.org site revamp I did.
