Plan for the future of the Jakarta site

TODO

(Hen unless otherwise stated or volunteers step forward)

1. Delete:
   1. Vendor page
   2. Newsletter Editor page - move to wiki? kill?
   3. Reference library - partly to a generic Java page and partly to a generic CVS page.
   4. packageversioning* (nothing links to this)
   5. versioning.html (nothing links to this)
   6. idedevelopers.html (nothing links to this)
   7. proposal.html (way out of date)
   8. faqs.html
2. Flatten Project Guidelines and all the other 'how to' pages into a shallower structure.

3. Move JSPA stuff to www.apache.org. Geir.

4. Translation sites. What to do about them.

5. Removal of information that may be found at http://www.apache.org/dev/, the Incubator or other ASF locations.

6. Download improvements:

   1. Update to include nightly snapshots at http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/

   2. Change filenames from 1.0.zip to project-1.0.zip. Do this by making the name equal the filename if no name is specified.
   3. Remove Commons from Commons components?

7. Migration of reference pages into Foundation. Robert - ONGOING

8. Update mail.html page. Some lists may be dead and the stated noise of each list is incorrect.
9. Generated project info pages to replace mail, cvs/svn, jira/bugzilla/scarab, wiki parts. Would also link to the download page for said project. Could grow to cover Java@Apache.
10. Javadoc index/directory.
11. Java@Apache considerations. Indexing systems for javadoc, jars, downloads etc. IRC channel? Java-based reference pages?
12. Increasingly simplify the site's HTML and improve its CSS.
