Who was there: Nathan, Ian, Mike, Donald, Wayne, Bjorn, Matt, Denis
Topics discussed:
Database-driven pages
- We will expand the project infrastructure schema and import it
into the database daily
- Information is at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure.php
- Nathan/Wayne to propose XML schema changes so we can create the
tables (and ask projects to update their XML)
Homepage redesign
- Nathan and Denis to do mock-ups: One for Roles, and one for
Categories (pillars). Both mock-ups should include committer/
Developer links, such as Committers, Bugzilla, Documentation, etc...
and one big "Download Eclipse" button.
- The left nav will disappear on the home page, provided committer
links remain accessible
- The right sidebar will remain, hosting the Events calendar and
Developer links
Pillars/User fiendly site
- "Pillars" has been renamed to Categories
- No more than 7 (plus or minus 2) Categories
- We agreed that the Category names are not optimized for users
- All agreed on the design and layout of the resources page
- We all agreed that site-wide tagging would be cool, but would be part
of a future implementation
- Need to add a "Docs homepage" column for each project
