[DISCUSS] New WebsiteGrant Ingersoll 2012-01-31, 19:38
As many of you know, I've been doing a slow burn on switching us over to the new ASF CMS. I'm finally at a point where I think we are ready, for the most part, so I'd like to propose we make the leap and switch. I finally had time to figure out a workaround for INFRA-3850 and have released the logjam caused by that blocker in terms of the L&F of the site.
You can see the new site at http://lucene.staging.apache.org/. I've ported almost all of the existing sites and done a lot to make it look better in terms of getting the CSS right, etc.
The new site is almost dead simple to edit:
1. svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/cms/trunk cms/trunk
2. svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/cms/build if you wish to build and test locally
a. http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html#local-build for details on building locally. If you are on a mac, you may need some perl dependencies installed.
b. cd asf-cms
c. ./build_site.pl --target-base=<path to output on local HTTPd server, I use ~/Sites> --source=../trunk/
3. Edit the files in cms/trunk/content and cms/trunk/templates as you see fit. When you are satisfied, svn commit.
4. Browse to the staging site to see them live.
5. TBD: publish to the main site. I'll figure that out when switching and post.
Markdown Reference: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
CMS Reference: http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html and http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html
(This info is available on the site at: http://lucene.staging.apache.org/site-instructions.html)
The whole process is 1000x easier than Forrest. You can even edit via the web using a WYSWIG editor if you so desire.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*********************
Now, here's the kicker, I'd like to switch to the new sites over this weekend or early next week at the latest and then iterate from there. I don't have a solution for the Core versioned docs yet, but those can be figured out later. Presumably we can convert them to markdown at some point before the next release and just maintain pointers to the old versions.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*********************
So, I'd suggest everyone give it a pass through, fix items as they see them and/or otherwise pitch in and help, because I'm tired of our current site and how poor it makes us look.

+1 from me too.
To repeat what I told Grant at the bar the other weekend (this is my opinion):
I think we should just try to do a hard cutover to the new site. The
old one looks like a 1990s geocities website and almost discourages
you from maintaining it in any way. I think if the versioned site
doesn't work correctly, is this really a blocker? For the meantime
couldn't we just temporarily link to the *latest release*?
I think if we tried to get the new website perfect before switching,
we would end out just never cutting over and nitpicking over tons of
stuff that really isn't that important anyway... like we cant see the
forrest for the trees.

: current site and how poor it makes us look.
Grant: my one concern is how the Solr tutorial currently looks,
particularly related to inline code and bulk code blocks...
http://lucene.staging.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html
to clarify: i think ultimatley the tutorial shouldn't be part of the site
itself, because i think that should remain "unversioned" and the tutorial
should move into "version specific" documentation of some kind (ie: maybe
just a javadoc doc-files or some other file under the solr dev tree). ...
but we can worry about that seperately.
my real concern is that the tutorial serves as a good indicator of how
inline and block code elements seem to be handled by the new CMS markup
and our templates -- and that worries me for our ability to move
forward writing docs/news/examples in the CMS given how poorly it seems to
be handled in the tutorial right now.
places where there should be inlined 'code' in a fixed width
font, ie...

Meanwhile, places where there should be indented code blocks with a

<source>
user:~solr$ *ls*
solr-nightly.zip
user:~solr$ *unzip -q solr-nightly.zip*
user:~solr$ *cd solr-nightly/example/*
</source>
...is showing up as a single line of text in a regular variable width
font.
I don't know if the problem is:
* the markup processing engine
* our use of the markup
* our templates
* our css
...but it seems like we should figure that out.

Re: [DISCUSS] New WebsiteChris Hostetter 2012-02-01, 00:40
Reading up a bit on markdown, and poking arround the generated html and
the css we are using i *think* (assuming i understand everything
correctly) we have two problems...
: places where there should be inlined 'code' in a fixed width
: font, ie...
...this looks like CSS problem. Our CSS is assuming any <code> tags
should be treated as block elements which makes it impossible to have
inline code quoting. we should probably change most of the "code" css to
use the "pre > code" since that's what the markdown docs i'm looking at
say markdown generates for code blocks.
Which leads me to the second problem...
: Meanwhile, places where there should be indented code blocks with a
: colored background...
...that looks like a content problem. we seem to be using "<source>" as
the markup for our code blocks, but the markdown docs i'm finding say thta
"4 whitespcae characters of indentation" should be used for code blocks.
(i suspect the <source> tags are left over from the forrest conversion)
...does that sound right to you Grant?

The solr tutorial represents 20% of page hits across the entire
lucene.apache.org domain.... more than 2000 views per day.
However it should be fixed, lets fix it!

The solr tutorial represents 20% of page hits across the entire
lucene.apache.org domain.... more than 2000 views per day.
However it should be fixed, lets fix it!

+1, looks much more inviting for everyone! Great work.
Minors:
* Enlarge the search box so the full text "Search with Apache Solr..." is visible. Hey, it's the home page of the world's best search engine, search should be prominent - so why not make the search box muuuch wider and add AutoComplete.
* Why is the search automatically constrained to the "Lucene-Core" project, even when searching from /solr/? If I am at Solr home page and search "tutorial", the first hit should be the Solr tutorial, not the Lucene one.

See below :-) Have at it. Most of the search site stuff is in the templates directory.

That's probably a copy paste error or a templating error.

+1 to new site (though... and maybe this is due to me using an outdated T42 ThinkPad now, the top part of the page feels very bulky, but maybe people are OK with that)
+1 to everything Jan wrote - he read my mind....transatlantic.

Like others said, we can handle this later.
Minor comments for now:
- The "Lucene" icon at top left still links to old site
- Page icon (shown in the address bar) is that of Solr - should be that of
Lucene.
Thanks for doing this!
Doron
PS I guess it is me to blame not the new site - that somewhat grayed-out
text is harder to read - but there are many modern sites like this so will
have to learn to live with it.

Yeah, it links to lucene.a.o, so it will be proper once it goes live.

I wished to make a too big deal of it... the text I see (tried 3
browsers) is a bit Gray (or faded), and I rather read a page with more
contrast between the text and the background, more clear to my eyes this
way, but this is just my personal preference, it seems others do not feel
that way, so I'm okay with this. Hopefully this is more clear now?

ah, yes, the favicon. Easily fixable. Not sure if Lucene has a favicon.

I agree. The body text is tiny and low contrast. Poor accessibility for anyone with low vision, including normal aging.
Compare to the current site, which isn't large body text by any measure, but is bigger and full-contrast.
Personally, I'd go with a serif font, but that is mostly preference. Letterforms are more differentiated with serifs, so it is just less work to read.

Ahem! Are we talking "over 40 fonts" here? It's a sad fact that I've
been noticing
over the last few years that the screen is getting harder to read... Living long
enough to have that problem beats the alternative though...

Re: [DISCUSS] New WebsiteGrant Ingersoll 2012-02-02, 23:12
I increased the font size and made it darker. I also updated the tutorial. Time for me to do other things until this weekend when I'm going to cut over, so if you have stuff you don't like before we cut over, see instructions below. This weekend, I will bring in the old versioned docs as well as port over the .htaccess stuff and add in redirects for the lucene/java stuff to be lucene/core.
If someone could update the news to be current, that would be much appreciated.

FYI: Grant had put in a redirect for dealing with the /java/ -> /core/
directory change, but forgot that a bunch of page names and urls had
changed slightly as well.
as you have probably noticed based on all the commits, i scrambled to try
and ensure that we had redirects for as many old URLs as i could think of
and/or find in google searches using "site:lucene.apache.org"
I think we've got most stuff covered now, with the exception of...
- *.pdf ... i figure just let those 404 from now on.
- http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/.*
...the core javadocs from past releases are all still there (with a
redirect to the new subdir) but as far as i can tell the Solr javadocs
have vanished ... i have no idea back a big directory like that now.

Hi Grant,
The redirect from java -> core does not yet work. If I search for "Lucene"
on Google the first hit goes to /java/ and I finally get. - 404.
What's needed to fix this?

I missed that. Feel free to fix once you get your account, as my week is booked solid and the amount of time I have for updates at this point is minimal.
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I put instructions on how to do all of this at http://lucene.apache.org/site-instructions.html.

There are a couple of more 404 cases caused by missing png files namely:
/images/home-wrapper.png , /images/footer.png from
http://lucene.apache.org/core/ and
/images/quote.jpg from http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
I'm not sure on this but because of the missing footer.png this might me
happening - http://imgur.com/qZ43s .
I posted a small one line patch on LUCENE-3810 too which was causing text
alignment problems.

I'm not sure on this but because of the missing footer.png this might me
happening - http://imgur.com/qZ43s .
I posted a small one line patch on LUCENE-3810 too which was causing text
alignment problems.

Re: [DISCUSS] New WebsiteDavid Smiley 2012-02-02, 19:59
The new site looks awesome! Thanks so much for your efforts, Grant.
I see you didn't get a chance to incorporate the 3 Packt books to the Solr
site. These need to be featured on Solr's front page for the ASF to collect
a cut of the book sales. I'm willing to help with this aspect of the
website. What do you think about adding an entry to the slideshow, at the
end for all 3 books? And how about a menu choice under "Resource" for all 3
books called "Books" that would go to a page similar to the news page with 3
entries chronologically? By the way, what contstitutes a "resource" seems a
little dubious / arbitrary, but I do think books definitely belong here.
