the Flex website
Hi all,
Our website
http://incubator.apache.org/flex/
is 'an ugly temporary website'.
I think we need a logo and some basic structure put in place.
Do we ask for volunteers to work on it?

Not an initial committer... but I'd be happy to help on this front.

Most of the sites look pretty "ugly".
It would be nice for someone to do something. Maybe someone with more
design skills than I have :)

I would like you to lead the website task because you are a committer, and

Sorry I'm late to the party.
Just joined the mailing list.
I'm trying to catch up on all I've missed.
I'd like to help out with design if possible. I think it is where I'd be
most useful.
While we are waiting on the logo I could still help with some wireframes
and site design.
Any objections?
Thanks,
Garth

I am trying to verify the answer about the icon. Will report back when I
find out. Seems like we'd want to add the Apache feather to it somehow?

@Greg i believe i saw something related to adobe donating the logo right to
apache ... not sure i'll look into it and try to get you the link where i
saw that ( don't remember if it was official though), but if we can propose
a logo that might also be interesting if anyone finds any added value for
that

Does anyone know if Adobe plans to donate their logo?

Re: the Flex website

It was just a suggestion - certainly don't mean to undermine the enthusiasm
or hold anyone back from getting involved and proposing a logo.
What I've seen talking to people in the wider community, there doesn't seem
to be a full understanding about the open nature at Apache or a realization
that you can actually get involved. I'd be in favor of anything that can
drive interest and participation.

I don't think we need a vote before work can commence. Basically if
Rick and Hugo are rarin' to go, then they should have at it. I would
encourage them to do as much of their work as possible on the mailing
list and in Subversion so everyone can participate and see a record of
what's happening.
Thanks,

I like the idea of having anyone that wants to submit a design do so, and if more than one decide to submit something within a timeframe then we can vote on it. If it's only Rick and Hugo that submit a design together, then we go with their design by default.

Peter,
Part of me wants to agree, part of me says that if Hugo and Rick are already excited enough to get into it we should just support that.
Obviously they are interested enough to already be watching the mailing lists day one. But I'd be happy to see some +1/0/-1's on the subject. I have no problem being told that I'm wrong and lots of people are just knocking down the door to make a new cool design.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to get the community involved - give it a
deadline of a week to come up with a proposal and have an open vote on the
mailinglist?
I'm sure we have some really talented people already on here willing to
volunteer but might as well open it up and drive some interest and
participation? Just a thought.

I have significant experience using the Apache CMS with the Apache OpenOffice podling.
See https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/site/trunk and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk
The second is the live www.openoffice.org a huge site of rewrapped html.
As a Flex Mentor I will certainly help the project get up to speed with the CMS.

It's all my fault ;-)
I'm happy to explain how to modify it if people want to add things
there now, but as you say:

> I think we need a logo and some basic structure put in place....
The standard option here would be to use the Apache CMS, it's a fairly
basic tool but very convenient for our types of projects as it's based
on content in subversion - which also means it's easy to include
generated content.
There's some information here:
http://wiki.apache.org/general/ApacheCms2010
http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html
and the Stanbol site is an example of a simple website managed by that CMS:
site at http://incubator.apache.org/stanbol/
content at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stanbol/site/trunk
If people agree with that solution, I can request ASF infrastructure
to set it up for us.
Someone will need to create a design anyway (CSS, logos etc), the CMS
only provides the editing/staging/publishing infrastructure.
