+1 I had the same thought when I built Calcite’s site based on jekyll (actually cloned from Orc’s site). Thanks for making this template — I’m sure it will be helpful to new projects.
We should make it clear that it is optional, of course. But when Calcite entered the incubator there were entirely too many choices (and opportunities to make mistakes). The whole svnpubsub vs cms question, for instance, delayed our web site by about 6 months because we weren’t sure whether we could backtrack once we had made a decision. So I think it would be useful if there were some default choices to get incubator projects off and running quickly. I also think it would be useful to provide a template for maven/java based projects. There would be a pom.xml, module/pom.xml and module/org/apache/foo/Foo.java, and just enough content in the pom.xml to be able to make a release by typing “mvn release:prepare … mvn release:perform”. If anyone is interested I’ll do it. Luciano, Did you have a place in mind to put your template site? I think it would need to be in an apache project, not in github, so that any podling can import it without worrying about IP contamination.
