Will fix it on Monday</div><div class="">- current webpage is served directly from <a href="http://central-fredapp.rhcloud.com/" class="">http://central-fredapp.rhcloud.com/</a>, I need to get <a href="https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central-webpage" class="">https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central-webpage</a> built from Jenkins and deployed to Nexus. At least that gives us some good flexibility in terms of maintenance.</div><div class="">- search engine uses staging <a href="http://dcpbeta-searchisko.rhcloud.com/" class="">dcpbeta-searchisko.rhcloud.com/</a> service, instead of <a href="http://dcp.jboss.org" class="">dcp.jboss.org</a></div><div class="">- The development workflow isn’t finalized yet. I need to set up and tune grunt watch, so that changes in html/js/sass can be picked up directly from eclipse.</div><div class="">- title still too big, needs to scale down</div><div class="">- offline mode is not supported (both for central and the quickstarts, groovy script not update yet)</div><div class="">- quickstarts not integrated to the existing project examples wizard</div><div class="">- legacy examples are not displays in the results, yet.</div><div class="">- project requirements not inferred yet (from existing metadata?)</div><div class="">- project tags should be added</div><div class="">- maybe find another default icon for quickstarts.</div><div class="">- layout needs to be tuned (needs to scale on 3 cols, instead of 4 and 2 currently)</div><div class="">- needs some tabzilla-like button (see the red hat at top right of <a href="http://tools.jboss.org/" class="">http://tools.jboss.org/</a>) to display show on startup</div><div class="">- APIs are in still unstable, expect them to break.</div><div class="">- you might notice some slight font flickering, due to the carousel script. I tried to minimize it but it’s still visible in the search bar’s hint text</div><div class="">- many other small stuff that are missing, that I can’t think of right now.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So, give it a try, we’d be happy to hear some feedback, good or bad, ideas to make it better (JIRA is your friend).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Fred</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
