You can thank Konstantin Preißer for the update: he's been working hard to clean-up the markup and apply more modern styling to the site. In his own words[1], Konstantin is "not a designer" but was motivated to make things better. If anyone knows any designers who would like to lend their talents to the Tomcat team, there's definitely a place for patches that simply make things look nicer and don't contain any code. Let me re-phrase that in simpler, more direct language, because I think it bears repeating: There is always a place at the ASF for non-programmers. The ASF's philosophy is "community over code" and thus the community is clearly the focus. Part of supporting communities is being inviting, and things like pleasing site layouts, clear, concise, and navigable documentation, etc. are critically important. Those without programming expertise can play a vital role in our community by providing feedback and -- even better -- design and documentation patches. Every little bit counts. Please don't be shy about lending your (plural!) personal expertise to the community. Oh, and the plan is to spread that change to the version-specific Tomcat documentation, too. Thanks for the feedback, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSMxxUAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYHqkP/R1ex8D84Nk90MbeVmNf3e6K xxr957A+Yd2qUWK7vCmgSkhB9Vy/WvIC4zhWLM0ARkUK7olp+iw9oH0gmmzJMHu5 SVu447G3kACtQljOXkiQmkkgCN3UxQqMgK/I3LT/VKBlxk5DwbDsJ9uwm/K6GMEr MtDDQM4uvfvOLWvWR0AXKX7j+YH2vQIdFiMXUnv61h8eOy/+mEEfU0ebLyjP0mTE Fyb+IgRZohTb2cfUZbb1xGq5ITZbFoUc5/7Cfp0biG2aHj9FzGe6Ojm48KOYmW9N x5JWHelUEGkEB1y9w506C9Uvdu4BCuPlYRqrPTSP+HIWC0+AXjIIp2kTh4Yk0Z2r vWjpcoJexUdBg/H96b9apEMu800UY5cflKF68+8VEsX5EzhbcH2IJUEJVyoulvn7 sOZGJmKVMEaDzA6tDKE5ewlUYM6TSxOsQRsnk6mzEif/vf388cRfcdxTRFzAYVDp FlTiFM3JfdCcbIUMetvmczDbfpE6yOV7XLYthc/VQFh6g2x7qS8EDhz8ij2brD0Q iDjdUJ8amH8klPrzO/luh5c5b9DXu+ek8DeOsfeRhLgBdcQC1htVbJZIxFkQG57k aQn/chdkK3lInp8uyop5AiM7m+O8TqULKZ3vTSrHMsFoJDKj5vqIaBygfTWuwEjQ zs1Og9iBtElvJGLndNy4 =BV9r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
