Re: Download link on the main page

Jason Dillon — 2008-12-04T17:21:36

Based on the current site, I'd suggest a nice big fancy rounded/ shadowed "Download" button under the G logo, in say green (make it stand out but not ugly). The box would work, but we''d have to replace the G logo, as the combination would be unaesthetic... er ugly. I don't quite understand to the "Tooling" and "Docs" comment from looking that the link... but I do like the directory projects "green" for our "Download" link ;-) But I think we are on the same page... make the site much, much, much easier for casual folks to actually find the bits they are interested in and download them, while still providing the indepth information that you and I expect to find on a project webpage. --jason On Dec 5, 2008, at 12:05 AM, Donald Woods wrote:

Agree that we need a more prominent "Download" graphic/button on the home page. Maybe using the Box logo and adding "Download Now" text under the existing "Apache Geronimo" text would suffice. Also, I've been thinking that we need similar "Tooling" and "Docs" graphics. Sort of like the Apache DS project has - http://directory.apache.org/ -Donald Jason Dillon wrote:

I think that the current download link is fine for more savvy folks. So defs leave that there. However I think that we should add a new big-ass download button under the big-ass G logo saying "Download" which takes you to a page that *picks* the latest distribution for you to download (with not much else on the page), sans some links to how to use it, and a link to the current download page for more download options. The current link in the side-nav is not predominate, so it may cause some users some searching to find it, smart ones finding it sooner than others... but even I was like where is the download link earlier today when I needed the latest G dist to test with. I found it shortly, but thats me... from looking at other sites, javaee and really other tools, a lot of them have a big-ass simple to find "Download" or "Download Me Now" button, so the brain doesn't have to work... just click. I wrote this email because we are lacking that "feature"... it should be simple to a

Are you proposing this "in addition to" or "instead of" the current Downloads link under Overview on the left? If we do add or replace the link I think it should continue to point to the overall download page: http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads.html Joe Jason Dillon wrote:

Jason Dillon — 2008-12-04T16:25:35

I think that the main G page ( http://geronimo.apache.org/ ) is missing a rather large nice looking "Download" button. I think it would fit really nicely under the big G logo. IMO it would be good if this link took you directly to the latest releases download page, that being here right now: http://geronimo.apache.org/apache-geronimo-v213-release.html And somewhat related the "Java EE 5 Certified" section for downloads seems a bit crunched up the by text on the right. I've got a 30" display and a*reasonable* size browser screen and it still is hard to read. I'd like to see that "Apache Geronimo v2.1.3 have passed..." text below the table, above "Download Sample ..." which should really help: * * * Anyways, its not like its hard to find Downloads, then under Latest Release -> Apache Geronimo v2.1.3 Release... Its just that it seems like the *norm* for sites to include that big- ass overpowering "Download" button on the first page that users see to take them directly to the

poms in the G repository?

Jason Dillon — 2008-12-04T13:55:38

Hi I just realized (or rather remembered) that the G repository doesn't include any poms. This presents a little bit of a problem for integrating the latest GShell which uses Maven2 poms to determine which dependencies to grap/load when installing a GShell command plugin. Any thoughts on including those pom files? --jason

I'm not sure if we should have a "Post a message" option. It was my understanding that our mailing list is setup such that your message won't go through unless you are subscribed to the list. I think putting a "Post a message" option will result in a lot of people attempting to send a message to the list without subscribing first, and being frustrated that their message is never answered. Of course, if I'm wrong about how the list works and you don't need to subscribe first then I'm completely fine with this. Can anyone verify? Thanks!
