Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1066:
--------------------------------------

This looks great!  A few minor comments:

1. The 'news' is a bit out of date.  This should be refreshed before this is committed.

2. We probably don't need to list more than the past few releases in 'releases'.

3. I can't get 'forrest' to build this.  I can preview it with 'forrest -run', but otherwise I get:

{code}
validate-xdocs:
/home/cutting/src/hadoop/trunk/src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml:26:9: The content of element type "p" must match "(strong|em|code|sub|sup|br|img|icon|acronym|map|a)".
/home/cutting/src/hadoop/trunk/src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml:29:164: The content of element type "acronym" must match "null".
/home/cutting/src/hadoop/trunk/src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml:45:11: The content of element type "p" must match "(strong|em|code|sub|sup|br|img|icon|acronym|map|a)".
/home/cutting/src/hadoop/trunk/src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml:57:11: The content of element type "p" must match "(strong|em|code|sub|sup|br|img|icon|acronym|map|a)".
{code}

This is with either forrest 0.7 or 0.8.  What version are you running?

4. Patches should be relative to the project root, not to src/docs.

Thanks!

> One of our tech writers has been looking at the state of Hadoop documentation, and suggests reworking the Hadoop front page to be more than just a release page (as it seems to be now).
> Especially in comparison with other other apache project pages, ours is uninviting to users unfamiliar with the premise of the project. She's suggesting updating the page to include more meta-information about the site, in addition to most of the links and news items currently on the page.
