FYI, added a downloads page to the DeviceMap website
Hi,
I meant to explain how to do that but it was easier to just do it ;-)
The downloads page is at
http://incubator.apache.org/devicemap/download/ - it uses the Apache
mirroring system to select a mirror based on geolocation.
The content is at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/devicemap/site/trunk/content/devicemap/download/
- further releases can be added to index.mdtext.
See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/devicemap/site/trunk/WEBSITE-HOWTO.txt
for how to edit that content.

Cool, take your time. Thanks, based on the experience with Bootstrap
elsewhere, it sounds like a good idea.

Hi,
I've started working on improving the website, but I'm doing this in my own corner when I have a bit of free time. It's based on Bootstrap with custom theming, to suite us.
Will ping you all when I have something demo-able (in at least two weeks, as I'm on PTO next week).

Hi,
I've started working on improving the website, but I'm doing this in my own
corner when I have a bit of free time. It's based on Bootstrap with custom
theming, to suite us.
Will ping you all when I have something demo-able (in at least two weeks,
as I'm on PTO next week).
Regards,
Radu

Thanks, that falls under the "Improve Website" ones.
You'll find plenty of Eclipse projects including the new front page where
Bootstrap was applied.
Similar to either Unit-API (our JSR 363)
http://unitsofmeasurement.github.io/ or JavaMoney for JSR 354:
http://javamoney.org just to mention 2 active JSRs where a public website
uses GitHub and therefore a slightly similar site mechanism as described
below, or Agorava: http://agorava.org, also backed by GitHub.
Btw, DeltaSpike uses more or less the same Bootstrap template:
https://deltaspike.apache.org/ If you switch to some pages, it even shows a
bug or layout glitch (maybe the design was intended for a 800x600 screen,
too and never adjusted?[?]) I noticed both at JavaMoney and Unit-API (where
I was careful in most cases to layout around it) in a similar way.
The top header "hops" when you have a page that contains more or less
content, could be with and without scrolling, I can't say but it
consistently affects hundreds or thousands of projects using that template.
It would be awesome if based on one of the best device repositories
available (if you take true Open Source then it's even fewer) we could make
the DeviceMap site mobile-enabled and show, we "eat our own dogfood"[?]
Not all of the "blog" like impression most of these makes may have to be
used the same way. A second mailing list or any other form of announcement
for "users" could be a good addition.
At the moment this list is for developers, most of them core committers,
but if you want to get people involved around use cases and how to use it
rather than contributing to DeviceMap itself, it could be a good sign to
add a "users" list. Aside from the mailing list via Google Groups (which
was never used for discussions as much as this one) the Twitter account was
pretty succesful with close to 400 followers. Neither the old "Wurfl
Project" nor a new commercial SM account come close, and they have at least
part time regular people working for it, OpenDDR is a self-runner for now,
and after my effort shifted to DeviceMap I rarely post there, yet people
still seem to follow and not many abandoned it, especially decicion-makers
at Facebook and other companies are loyals followers.
Bertrand among most others has a personal user, not sure, if creating one
for the project makes sense or not? Otherwise the hashtag #DeviceMap (with
#Apache in most cases) could be fine, there are some Twitter queries to
display that if you want on a page.
