Re: [birt-dev] BIRT Internet Page Mockup
Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I am sorry, I have not provided any feedback to date. I am going to take a stab and providing some feedback, please don't take offense, I am trying to squeeze this in between some critical deliverables.

I thought that the plan was that the BIRT project was just going to use the standard Eclipse project page, and then a standard Eclipse web page
I realize that there is a lot of variability in the above pages, but they seem to look a bit more Eclipse-like. The new page really doesn't have a very solid theme or feel to it. I know that the old pages were somewhat unique, but they had a better palette and use of icons/logos. At a minimum, we need the Eclipse Foundation Footers identifying this as an Eclipse project:

My other concern is that having been with the project when our page was non-standard, I am not sure that I want to have another non-standard page. I know nothing about docusaurus, what happened to using Hugo?  Will docusaurus integrate with all the rest of our code? 

In terms of organization, I think less is more. Let's keep it fairly simple and then refer to the Eclipse.org BIRT wiki pages for any details.  I think we should try and make the page work with four basic categories:
  • Landing / About
  • Download
  • Community
  • Getting Started / Documentation
NOTE: I would like to think about how we handle the mention of Sponsors. I don't want to take away from all of the work that OpenText/Actuate has put into the project to date and I feel that they deserve a 'lead' sponsor position. After that, we can look at other companies that have contributed to the project. 

Sorry, I can't put more time into this right now, but I will have a better look tonight.

Hi you all,

 

as I said, I built a mockup of a new BIRT internet pages.

I first looked for some tools which could be of any help and I decided to us docusaurus. I hope that is fine for everybody. If there is any objection please let me know.

 

Then I read all the BIRT pages and took the ones apart which seemed to be obviously outdated. Following the internet site I mailed last week I took the content which can be reused from my point of view and I reassigned it. The text must urgently be updated as it still contains information which is outdated.

 

Who is willing to read the text and send me the necessary corrections?

I also need advice how the Chapter Templates & Examples (under Documentation) shall be should be built. Can we configure live demos? Shall new examples and/or templates be published? I am open to any suggestion.

 

The editorial work done, I will update the links when the structure will be final.

 

You can find the mockup at: Hello from BIRT | BIRT (chloetz.github.io)

 

Curious to read your feedback. Please feel free to send me suggestions for improvements, changes and additions.

 

Kind regards

Chris

It looks like the elections for John as PL and Alex as committer failed because we didn't get enough votes. This is likely because the notifications of the ongoing elections got lost in the activity on this list. Since we're still in reboot mode, I've just inserted them into the roles rather than run a second election.

 

Alexander Lehmann was just provisioned, and so should show up on the committers list in the next hour or so.

 

Provisioning John as a committer uncovered a corner case in our provisioning system; the EMO Records team is working on getting that resolved.

Wayne,

 

We still do not have a project lead. Also, Alexander Fedorov does not have his commit rights yet.

 

Can you help?

 

Cheers,

 

Wim
