Web Site update 20101028
Hi Everybody,
It would be great if you could review the following:
http://james.apache.org
- Home: less bullet, vertical layout, mention of hupa project
- Releases: mention of maven repos for missing projects
http://james.apache.org/server/
- Home: less bullet, vertical layout, feature matrix update (-> would
put it in a tabbed layout with jquery javascript framework to lighten
the content, also add some tabs such as video,... a bit like
http://cassandra.apache.org)
- some links to server 2.x to archive
http://james.apache.org/server/3/
- All 3 releases would go to /server/3 directory
- Home: more user-oriented with key characteristics and images
- Menu review: Overview, Features, User Manual, Developers Corner
- Some pages are ok, some are empty, some need to be
reviewed/corrected/revamped.
http://james.apache.org/imap
http://james.apache.org/protocols
- No more broken links
http://james.apache.org/mailbox
(forgot to update it, don't look at it now)
Also top and left menu updated for all the above sites.
Waiting your comments
Tks,
Eric

I was on my NetBook and it isn't readable at all. I think the news box
should be smaller and the 2 columns should take the whole width in
order to be readable. Otherwise a minimum-width should be added in
order to avoid 100px columns with unreadable text.

This is really too large.
The content is very good.

OK, server V2 link is repaired (v2 website still needs to be regenerated
with new skin menus)
googling a bit:
http://www.stayonsearch.com/optimal-screen-resolution-for-web-design-2010-update
I would target 1280x1024 (easy to change with firefox web developer plugin)
With that resolution
- http://james.apache.org/server/index.html needs tabs in the content
(a-la-jquery)
- some images of http://james.apache.org/server/3/index.html needs to be
a bit less large, but we could keep the 2 columns layout.
Once M1 voted, uploaded and cgi adapter, i will add the evident buttons
for early-adopters download.
Tks,
Eric

Hi Tim,
I just realize i work on a 1920 resolution...
I didn't find any directive on
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs for the resolution to be
supported
Should we target 1024 ? If such, I guess I have to go to one column
tables rather to to 2. This would loose a bit of impact, especially for
the main home page.
Server V2 link will be repaired within 1 hour (time to rsynch)
I can add a kind of button on http://james.apache.org/server/index.html
and http://james.apache.org/server/3/index.html to download milestone 1.
Tks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
you put a whole lot of effort into the site. Thanks a lot. That's of
such great importance!
It looks really good, although some pages are too wide (e.g.
http://james.apache.org/server/3/index.html ) and not even viewable on a
1400px wide screen.
The Server v2 link in the "Documentation" section is dead.
I cannot really find an easy way to download James server. We should
have a very prominent link that encourages people to try James 3.

Tim

Hi Eric,
I really like the outcome so far. You did a really good job.
A few comments:
http://james.apache.org/server/index.html
* LMTP should get linked to the RFC http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2033.html
http://james.apache.org/server/3/index.html
* The package graph seems to be cut off
http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev_architecture.html
* Replace java 1.4 with java 1.5 in the Features section
http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev_extend_hook_smtp.html
* links to the server apidocs but should link to the protocols api docs
http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev_custom_matcher.html
http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev_custom_mailet.html
* Deploying section still talks about the .sar stuff. This should be
adjusted to match current deployment. Like put your code in
/path/to/james/conf/lib/
http://james.apache.org/server/3/configuration_serverwide.html
* Remove "The Objectstorage Block" and "The Socketmanager Block", both
not exist anymore
* Other global configuration list bayesianmanagement.xml which was
removed and mailetpackages.xml/matcherpackages.xml which where merged
with mailetcontainer.xml
* mailserver.xml list the wrong configuration options. In 3.x only the
following are supported: postmaster, enableVirtualHosting,
defaultDomain, helloName (maybe we should remove this ?)
Thats it for now.. will do more review later.
