THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
These are a list of some initial requirements for the updating of the existing website at http://ofbiz.apache.org
Initial Requirements
- OFBiz Logo - needs to be better quality and resolution to be improved. (NOTE: OFBiz registration in progress so need to be aware that TM may change to Registered Trademark at some point in the future / May need to prepare graphics for both)
- Menu navigation to be moved to the top of the screen as there is space
- Keep menu options visible (i.e no drop down menus)
- Restructure / re-write webpage text (Is there too much? Would it be easier to link to a features page?)
- Have a separate section for potential service providers / developers (e.g if you are a developer .....)
- Have a separate section for end users (e.g if you are an end user ......)
- Remove News section and replace it with OFBiz blog
- Keep Twitter feed
- Make website responsive and available on different media types (e.g monitor, tablets, smart phones?)
OFBiz Demo - Do we reduce it to link to only 1 demo (e.g the current stable release) or do we have one demo for developers and another demo tailored for end users? (Could be handled by the 'if you are a developer.....' and 'if you are an end user .....' logic)
Jacques Le Roux: We could also reduce to last stable and instead of "old" show the current consolidating branch. But initially the idea was to show only released branches (though the trunk is accessible but not from the site).
One demo for developers and another tailored for end users could be a nice idea but would need some work I'm not sure the community is ready to give...One page design that could highlight different aspects of OFBiz
- OFBIz framework
- OFBiz ERP
- OFBiz eCommerce
- Must conform to ASF Guidelines as follows:
Jacques Le Roux: We have that already but:
the security page is linked from a vulnerabilities anchor in our download page. Jacopo did that, I like it.
IIRW, we had a link to the main ASF homepage in the footer but it's no longer there. We would put it back (not hard to maintain once done on every page).
Whatever main navigation system your project website uses, it must feature certain links back to key pages on the main www.apache.org website. These links should appear in whatever main navigation system your site uses on all top level pages for the project or subproject.
"License" should link to:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/"Sponsorship" or "Donate" should link to:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html"Thanks" should link to:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html"Security" should link to either to a project-specific page detailing how users may securely report potential vulnerabilities, or to the main http://www.apache.org/security/ page
All projects must feature some prominent link back to the main ASF homepage at
http://www.apache.org/De
