Amazing work! The new site looks really good. I like white websites more, they are easier to read. Also, its great that you're putting the community on the front page. I hear quite often that users like the good support they are getting from the mailing lists. I personally experienced other open source communities which didn't answer my questions on their list. I think that's not happening in our community! The blog posts with their dates on the front page show that the project is very active.
Some detailed comments: - The front page doesn't contain the word "batch" at all. People might be confused - why is the "Table API" so prominent on the front page? Other staging projects like python or the hadoop compat don't get a mention at all. - Do you think adding a very little "Beta" badge on the system stack at the front page to the beta components would be a good idea? I think we should manage the expectations there. ML, gelly and the table API are all not part of any official stable release. - The disqus comments are missing in the blog - The frontpage link to the setup is broken: http://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/setup/ - The codetabs.js file contains (and actually logs) "HERE" to the javascript console of my browser. Looks like some leftover debugging code. - codetabs.js also gets a "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" on the downloads page. - I don't want to put the burden of fixing this onto alone (= I can help you), but basically all links to the documentation in the blog are broken. For example for the 0.9.0-m1 annoucements, the links to gelly and the table api are broken. This issue is independent of this change, but still annoying. - The link to our twitter account could be more prominent. Maybe on the front page? .. I'll give feedback to the Feature page, once its done ;) On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 9:51 AM, Ufuk Celebi <u...@apache.org> wrote: > Hey all, > > I reworked the project website the last couple of days and would like to > share the preview: > > http://uce.github.io/flink-web/ > > I would like to get this in asap.
