The site looks nice. One comment I have and it's the same I had on cloudstack-meeting irc.
We should keep a top-level link that points the user to the features and progress of the next release. We had plenty of questions during 4.0 from users about the progress of the release and the features in it. The page probably should exists in our wiki but that link and some general information about the timing of the release deserves top billing. --Alex -----Original Message----- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 6:21 AM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Feedback on site redesign Thanks Charles! We actually are using the CMS for the main site. IMO the site should primarily act as a place for users and non-contributing developers (perhaps users of the API). The Wiki should be the home of development documentation for those that want to contribute to, hack in, work on the project.
