Re: [xtext-dev] Xtext Website
|
I like http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/draft090514/nova3.html best.
The "Latest Activity" section is where nice, but it should have the
order
- blogs
- tweets
- commits
maybe we want to add an RSS from bugzilla?

Hey Guys,
I have published three design drafts at
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/draft090514/20.html
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/draft090514/nova1.html
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/draft090514/nova3.html
Where the 2.0-Approach (20.html) tries to establish an "individual
look" compared to the other Eclipse citizens the other designs rely
on the recent Eclipse theme "Nova". Content-wise all three drafts
are comparable apart from the fact that nova3 brings a short
introduction screencast into play.
Please feel free to comment on these.
Cheers,
Heiko

Hey Folks,
within the next weeks we want to overhaul the users' first
impression of Xtext. This does not only affect the UI (e.g.
Wizards) or a ready-to-use distro but public material such as
documentation and the website as well. So far, only the wiki page
at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xtext informs the first-time user about
Xtext's capabilities. To improve this situation I want to establish
a face-lifted web appearance of Xtext that resides at http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext
. If have already discussed this topic with some of you and
clarified some technical issues with the webmasters of eclipse.org.
We will be able to provide a custom design, present off-site links
to the oAW Distribution and do other fancy (php-based) stuff as
well if we want to.
If have collected a few items that outline this effort and I would
highly appreciate feedback.
First step: A Landing page
• Appealing Look
• Short description about Xtext in general
• (Screenshot / Diagram ?)
• Easy to find download link
• Documentation
• Professional Support (non annoying)
• Key Features
• Note for irritated Xtext oAW users
• Status (latest commit, twitter, blog headlines) to appear fresh
Second, a restructured web page the conforms to these ideas
• Landing Page (see above)
• Documentation
• online version of documentation
• tutorials (n minute)
• screencasts
• DSL examples
• other resources (such as articles or noteworthy blog posts)
• Testimonials or "Users that are impressed by Xtext"
• Support
• Newsgroup
• Bugzilla
• Off-Link to "Professional Support"
• Contribute / Developer
• Team (People behind the scenes, short bio?)
• Wiki
• JavaDoc, JUnit-Reports
• Sources
• Metrics
Please feel free to comment this list. In the next days I will send
around some design documents to feed the discussion.
@itemis kiel: Tomorrow morning I will be at the office. How about a
short discussion based on the current designs?
