Hi folks,
I was having a conversation with Rich (Bowen) some weeks ago, and the sentiment was that our projects page ( projects.apache.org
<http://projects.apache.org> ) could use a big overhaul. It's outdated, not very user friendly, doesn't really compile the data into anything useful
(mostly just displays "raw" data) and it's difficult to navigate (no search abilities, no actual overviews).
Therefore, I propose that the community development project takes over this project from Infra, which has no interest in continuing/maintaining it,
and revamps it with both a new site design and a new LDAP/JSON-based information system which would enable people to edit their project details
online without having to upload/change RDF files when something happens. This would also mean that everything could be rendered in the browser
instead of relying on daily cron jobs to compile the page, and also allow us to add some inspiring/interesting graphical charts and
overviews/timelines.
I have been working on a proposal that follows these ideas, which is available for preview at http://projects.apache.pw/ for those interested. Only
the first two tabs in the menu currently work (and the extensive search feature), but that is still most of what the old site has and then some. I
am pondering on moving some of the front page stuff to the 'Timelines' tab instead, feedback is appreciated on this.
So, comments, feedback, questions, anything is most welcome, especially
comments on whether you:
1) think comdev should be responsible for the projects directory
2) think the proposal looks good/swell/nifty/whatever.
A few notes on the search feature:
- You can search for virtually anything within a project, types, languages,
descriptions, bug-trackers etc
- Try typing your committer ID or Apache ID into the box, and it will show all
projects you are a part of
If there is consensus for moving this into comdev framework and collaborating on this, I will commit the proposal to a sub-folder in the comdev svn
repository and ask infra for a VM where we can set this up.
With regards,
Daniel.
