Remaining work on site redesign?

[Andrew Phillips <ap...@qrmedia.com>]

What do we feel still needs to be done before we can get the new site  
design up and running..?

Thanks for taking care of that, Ignasi!

I'd rather keep it, to have a proper reference of tee work that was
done there. I'd remove both once we merge the new PR.

I notice the original "rebranding" branch is still around. Do we want  
to keep that as a record of work so far until the redesign is merged,  
or is it no longer required..?

Due to my yesterday's change in the release note index, there have
appeared conflicts in the rebranding pull request. That makes the
builds fail and the staging site is not populated. To fix this, I've
rebased all changes to the latest maater version and pushed a new
branch called "rebranding-rebased". Please, continue the rebranding
work in that branch.

I've also closed the existing rebranding pull request and opened a new
one [1] based on the new branch so we can all keep working on it as we
were doing.

The intent of the PR was to redesign the site. Let’s stick to that. Fixing the docs can wait until after. We’ve lived with them for this long…I’d rather not see them hold up publishing the redesign.

I’m hoping to have some time this weekend to just focus on redesigning pages.

Ideally, I'd like to update some docs and make them more clear and
approachable, but I don't think I can get that done in a reasonable
amount of time, so:

* Add a layout that generates a TOC baed on the page titles. This will
be specially useful for long pages such as the Compute one (I already
started this).
* Migrate all the provider user guides. In the old site they are mixed
in the "Quick start" and "User guides" categories. I think we should
join them all in the Provider user guides and just migrate the current
content to the rebranded site.
* Move the Logging and other recurring pages to the rebranded site as
top level pages in the menu.

Remove (or move to the wiki if you prefer) all those outdated pages
that refer to design decisions of jclouds 1.x. There are many pages
that are really useless and incomplete that should be removed.


I've been busy with the DigitalOcean provider and the release, but my
plan is to resume my work on the rebranding. If we focus in just
rebrand the documents we could have it in a week or two. If we want to
fix the docs to make them more clear... We need more people giving a
hand! :)
