Updating the Website with the new ASF logo?

Hi,

as it's now official ... how about changing the Logo on our website?
I would do it, but I guess there are enough people here that actually know how to do it ;-)

not really.. one of the news media outlets that reported about the Java
plugin being removed said in the first line of their article, "Now that
Chrome, Firefox, Edge & Safari don't support plug-ins anymore...". the
article later made a clarification.

all browsers support plugins. and almost all of them have their own plugins
running including Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla.

I don't know if this image will come through but they all use plugins, and
some or all are making new controversial plugins
<https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/reconciling-mozillas-mission-and-w3c-eme/>
for DRM content. i don't know but i think they might have been trying to
intentionally get rid of plugins not just for traditional reasons but
possibly for advertising and possibly to control online video piracy / DRM.
read the article above. mozilla is actually against one of their own
plugins (linked above) but included it anyway.

If best-in-class means "browser/plug-in based", "RichClient" or call it
whatever it seems that Flash is the only one that survive.
Silverlight is dead with Microsoft Edge and Oracle announced this week, that
they will remove
the Java browser plugin from future JDK/JRE versions.

AW: Updating the Website with the new ASF logo?

Posted by Christofer Dutz <ch...@c-ware.de>.
Putting the dirty finger in the wound :-)

I read Maven almost directly after Flex ... but no Ant in the list ... why that? :-P

Nice, I always wondered why Apache's blogs look so "blah", I guess I will
never know.

But speaking of the new logo -- did anybody notice that Flex was
specifically called out in the press-release as "best in class software
project"?

It's on my list.  I've been doing a skunk-works project to redesign the
website the the last month or so.  It will also involve getting our full
suite of docs online and better integrating the FlexJS as a top-tier
product into it.

I'm hoping (with infa's help) to have a real CMS (based on Mura) so all the
project contributors can update content easier (and without worrying of
screwing up the site because of an errant tab or something simple).

Timeline for a preview is in a few weeks (I'm hoping by Feb 15th), but I'll
let you know as we get closer.
