RFC: Some Website Cleanup
Hello.
I posted what I think is an improved version of the turbine website at:
http://dev.fenetics.com/turbine/
You can download the source if you want to make changes at:
http://dev.fenetics.com/turbine/jakarta-turbine-site.zip
I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions. As with any
largish change, there will be many places for improvements. But overall I
think the site will be more helpful for new users. It will also help direct
people to the wiki, which is where we have our best shot at maturing enough
content for official documentation.
Lastly, I will be out of town from Thursday into Monday (Viva Las Vegas!).
I hope to be accessible by email, but after tomorrow I will not be able to
make any changes to my posted version until Tuesday.
Thanks,
Chris
Changes of note:
==================================================================
* General editing and revision of most pages
* Wiki Shortcuts
* Service Specs, Howto's, Schema, and Pull Docs are in turbine-site instead
of turbine-2
* Added Jeff Linwood's Turbine Concepts Article
* Removed references to 3.0
* Added a page describing how to download turbine instead of a link directly
to the downloads
* Changed the Development->Documentation page to reflect the current effort

Jeff, thanks for taking a look!
I like your suggestions, and have made the changes. I will upload the new
version to our dev server when I get into the office in the morning.

Unless there are objections, I would like to get my version of the Turbine
site up on the official site.
I included a zip file
(http://dev.fenetics.com/turbine/jakarta-turbine-site.zip) with the source
which a committer can use to make the changes. I am unsure about generating
patches that include new files...?
The only file that should be removed is common/further-reading.xml, as it
was consolidated into my new further-reading directory.
We would also need to remove the duplicated documents from the 2.x tree.
Thanks,
Chris

One more thing, can you add Sing Li's article (under news) to the list
of articles in the Further Reading page?
Also, I don't want to start a big fight here, but I can never find this
page for writing xdocs, so here is a link to add to the documentation
page for xdocs: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/jakarta-site-tags.html
Thanks,

I reposted my improved version of the website. Changes include:
* Documentation Page: New section describing how to get and build the Doc
source, and submit patches
* Consolidated the Development->Further Reading and General->Further Reading
pages
* Download Page: Added sections about getting the source from CVS and
building it
* Javadoc link in left menu
* "(FAQ)" on Faq item in left menu
Again, I will be gone after tomorrow until monday night. So don't be
offended if I am late replying to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I like it, here are some notes:
* Combine Further Reading in General Information with Further Reading
under Development
* I really like the new improving documentation page, can we also
mention maven site:generate?
* Frequently Asked Questions should also say (FAQ) in the heading
* Can we include some basic pointers about using maven to build Turbine
from CVS HEAD? And something about the project layout?
Great job!
Jeff

They are in there. You can find "core schema" in the Turbine Doc Menu, and
the others in the further-reading area. I also put a JavaDocs link in the
Documentation section of the menu on the left.
Thanks for looking it over!

I would also move "J2EE integration", "core schema", "Model 2+1", and
"Pull MVC model" to the site module. The addition of javadocs (simple
link to the javadocs of the curernt version) would be nice as well.
