[jwt-dev] JWT with Nova - A new theme for www.eclipse.org

Hi there,
 
I just changed the design of our website to the upcoming Nova Eclipse design (see email below). In my opinion it looks quite strange (decide yourself: see the two screenshots attached).
The compact design (having all topics on a single monitor) is replaced by a long list which makes it quite difficult to find the topics one is searching for. Additionally, the images need much more space (incubation egg, screenshot) and probably therefore there is not enough place for the text anymore.
 
Therefore, I replaced it again with the old design and I guess we'll wait until other projects switched to Nova in order to see how they adapt their website or whether Nova itself is changed again.
 
Best regards,
 
Florian

Betreff: [eclipse.org-committers] Nova - A new theme for www.eclipse.org

Good afternoon committers,

 

We’ve been working on putting a new face to eclipse.org for a while now. On October 1st we launched the page you see at www.eclipse.org now.  And starting tomorrow, we’re going to release a new homepage and new skin for the website called…

 

Nova - http://www.eclipse.org/Nova

=============================

Thanks to the feedback you guys provided in Bug 252006, I think we’ve come up with something you’ll like.  Nova is designed to be lighter, cleaner, and get you to the right sections of our website. 

 

 

Project Website Maintainers

=============================

Setting your pages theme to “Nova” in _projectCommon.php should be all you need to do for most pages.

 

Check out the Modeling Pages under the new skin.

http://phoenix.eclipse.org/modeling/

 

 

If you’re a committer who takes care of your projects website and want more detail have a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Nova to get you started, while we eventually plan to change the default skin for all of eclipse.org to Nova, you guys need time to get that done.

 

Migrating your pages over shouldn’t take you much time. Nova is compatible with the tags used in Phoenix.
