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?
