It might be ok to start after waiting for some feedback. Weekends are a little slower, and more so in the US here since it's a holiday weekend.
I bet after it's up and running you will start getting progressively more apps to be added. Might even need a way to organize them or search through them at some point down the road. Some random thoughts from me. -Site address something simple like... flex.apache.org/showcase -I don't think we should replace the desktop/mobile images, but I think those two could be combined, since they lead to the same features page. We could however add in a showcase tile on it's own. -I like the idea of tiling each app like we have done several places in the site. -We probably don't want the date of submission visible. I wouldn't want sometime down the road if we haven't updated it in a while for it all look old by perception with the dates. -I like the idea of the showcase app / tour de flex add on. Not sure what we are allowed to have in the way of data being submitted back to the website however. -Mark On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 9:14 AM, Maurice Amsellem < maurice.amsel...@systar.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to start working on Flex showcase : > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33907 > > This is how I intend to proceed: > > 1) Find a place on the web site home page to host the showcase link. > > - Desktop App / Mobile Apps boxes on the home page lead to the same > content, so that can be merged, IMO > - Put the "showcase" section in place on the mobile section (3rd box) > - The "showcase" box will include a "showcase" icon (I will design it), a > link to the future "Tour De Flex" and a link to the showcase page. > > 2) Showcase page: > > Plan: start with a very simple structure, and improve / extend it as the > number of show case item increases (and as time allows) > > a) The initial structure will be plain html / CMS content > - List-based showcase items > - Date of submission > - Title > - Description > - Flex version/platform used > - Company/author web link > - Screenshot if provided > - Live Demo and/or Video link if provided > > b) Eventually, the showcase app could become a flex app itself, or be > embedded in Tour de Flex.
