Re: Website preview - update
Hello,
I tried to limit the number of menu entries to 7. The magic number of
items you can overlook.
I removed the 'Getting a first impression' area and moved the content
into the 'About Tapestry' area. We can still make a block on the front
page to help user.
The user guide requires a nested navigation. My first idea, was to move
it to a Tapestry sub module, which has the advantage, that we can modify
the menu (remove items). I tested a kind of pure documentation sub
project. This approach wasn't very nice as you have menu items of the
main level (about, support, download) which suddenly disappears. You can
find this effect on the current website, if you visit tapestry modules
like tapestry-ioc, the tutorial etc.
As a consequence, I reverted the change and moved the user guide as
special item to the main area. This allows to have two sub levels in the
user guide.
I merged the Tapestry modules and the page for external modules into a
common menu area.
Furthermore, I moved the project information, which is a kind of default
into 'About Tapestry'. I believe that finding the contained information
(JIRA, Mailinglist, Subversion) is still intuitive. JIRA and Mailinglist
can additionally found in the support area and the subversion is
referenced in addition in the download area.
What do you think?

Re: Website preview - update 2 - WARNING to core committer
Posted by Sebastian Hennebrueder <us...@laliluna.de>.
Hello,
I have integrated some documentation files from the
tapestry-project/src/site into the new documentation.
As a consequence, we need to take care that those files are not updated
or changes are merged into the new docs.
I used revision r811842 to copy the tutorial, faq, deployment-notes for
app servers, release-notes, upgrade-notes
Open content is
the user guide
contribution pages
and the pages from the website tasks

Documentation menu has a scrollbar. I think it's better to get rid of it.

Sebastian, first of all thanks for your efforts!
Grouping links into categories (menus) is a very good thing.
I have a few suggestions:
1. "http://tapestry.laliluna.de/" :
1.1 "Apache Tapestry is an open-source framework"
- add "component-oriented" . As for me it's a very important feature
to be mentioned as soon as possible.
1.2 "Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each
constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure"
- add something like this after the first sentence:
"This allows to drastically encapsulate functionality and layout of a
logical page part (component), which increases its maintainability and
reusability"
2. The current menu item sometimes changes when a user selects submenu
item. I think it's very confusing and better be avoided. Here are the
details:
2.1 There is a strange "ghost" menu item "official tutorial" that is
shown when you press "Getting started" menu item. Pressing its submenu
items leads to confusing menu movements.
2.2 "Documentation" -> "User guide" actually switches to the top level
"User guide".
