[xtext-dev] Xtext Website
|
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?
