Can something be done about the look and feel of the main glassfish page and
the theme of the wiki?
The glassfish website (glassfish.dev.java.net) seems a bit disorganized and
the usability and site navigation is not comparable to
http://opensolaris.org or
http://opends.org
The following are things that can be changed to improve the look:
1. The [Download Now] icons on glassfish.dev.java.net and the fonts for each
download item spoil the look.
2. The ad for the plasma or HDTV makes it appear as if this is a commercial
page.
3. Three or four different fonts and font sizes are being used on the same
page.
4. There is no search box to allow a complete site search.
5. The Javascript based Navigation on the top right corner [Aqarium, Core,
Webteir ...][ does not appear like a navigation menu. Unless one scrolls the
mouse on it.
How about:
Registering a domain.
Create a new site which is organized similar to OpenSolaris.org and maybe
change the theme a bit.
Stop using a Wiki for the main site or use a better Wiki software with
better theme?
If not like OpenSolaris.org alteast make get the main site in par with
http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas/
Both these sites are usable and looks professional.
