RE: [soa-iwg] First Mockup of SOA Initiative Website

On the Conference call today there was concern that the menu near top of page is confusing (this is a site-wide menu), as people may think clicking the links are specific to the working group.

 

This menu is also on the pulsar page:

http://www.eclipse.org/pulsar/

 

I have to admit that I personally find it confusing, but the apparently no one from the pulsar side has had an issue reported.

 

Comments?

Subject: [soa-iwg] First Mockup of SOA Initiative Website

 

Here is a mockup of the SOA Iniative Website:

 

http://www.eclipse.org/org/industry-workgroups/SOA-WS-TEMP/

 

This is not yet linked anywhere (except this email of course), and is just a draft/placeholder.

 

A couple notes:

-          The getting started page is just lorem ipsum for now.

-          Download just links to main download page.

-          As is customary at Eclipse, all participants, logos, are in Alphabetical order (Steering committee first, then Member Participants).

-          Participants page is text I grabbed from membership pages.

-          The logos to the right are for steering committee participants, which are TBD, but I took a best guess for now.  The links can be driven from RSS feeds, but I’ve hard coded a couple for each just to show how it can look.

 

I have a couple ideas for improvement:

-          We can put a light purple background to make the page less harsh, like http://eclipse.org/membership

o   I need the eclipse soa logo files for this – Ricco, can you send them?  I need to make a transparent background.

o   I need the member logos with transparent backgrounds too.

 

Please let me know of any comments or ideas, again this is just a first draft with lots of placeholders and sample text/logos.
