Re: little love for the website plz?
OK - just spent the weekend getting the new ESME site up and running -
http://esme.staging.apache.org/
It isn't finished yet - there are still things that I haven't included
yet - actions, technicals details, faq, etc. but it is a good start
and, in my opinion, ready to be moved to replace our old wiki-based
production site. The advantage is that we can meet a variety of the
branding requirements with the new layout.
Take a look at see what you think.
@Joe what is necessary to replace the old site was the new one? I
tried the "[Publish Site] " link in CMS but it doesn't seem to work.

Please file an INFRA jira to enable site publication from the CMS.
I'll get to it later this week- have about 2000 emails to read after
