Website: Make 1.4 | Modules | 1.2 top level tabs ?

Hi Lenya devs,

since we have only three top-level tabs on the website,
IMO we can pull up the documentation sections (1.4, Modules,
1.2) and make them top-level tabs. They are not very prominent
now anyway. Pulling them up would also reduce the number
of clicks.

Maybe we should put them at the end:


Project | Community | Documentation | Version 1.4 | Modules | Version 1.2


WDYT?

I guess the modules are refering to 1.4, right?

I would rather suggest something like


Project | Version 1.4 | Version 1.2 | Community

and move the Documentation as sub-tab of Version 1.4 resp. Version 1.2

That would conform to Michi's suggestion.
IMO it's a good idea.

BTW, I split up the module list in "Core modules" and "Standard
modules" sections. We could put these directly under 1.4 to get rid
of the additional hierarchy level.

+1 for getting rid of a hierarchy level. but i'm not too happy with 
"modules" as it is now.
it might make sense if we decided to release and develop modules 
independently of our "core releases", like cocoon blocks. but modules 
are exclusive to 1.4 now and will likely retain close ties to particular 
releases for some time to come, so let's put modules documentation under 
1.4.
wdyt?

It is ok for me, since we have now both.

Maybe we could move the explanatory paragraphs to the frontpage.

Makes sense.

wow. documentation has come a long way indeed.

i wonder: can we get rid of the "documentation" tab?
it's not really where most of the documentation is and distracts from 
the 1.2. and 1.4 tabs a little.
the index page is superflous since we have the 1.2 and 1.4 tabs.
coding guidelines would fit better in community/contributing.
"website update", "zone notes" and "release management" could be moved 
there as well, maybe under a sub-heading "administrative tasks" or 
something like that.

we should link to the zones demos more prominently. we could have "demo" 
headings in both the 1.2. and 1.4 tab. wdyt?

other than those minor issues, i like the new docs very much, and i'd 
like to see it deployed asap.

OK, just in case you'd like to give it another try, the changes
are visible on the zone for a while now:
http://lenya.zones.apache.org/docu/

I have to admit that I like it like this.

What do the others think?

Not sure, we had that before.

I like the current one better since all the documentation is gathered
under one section.
