1. I would put REST api as a separate section, and also not in the
same
hierarchy/section as client libraries, because REST is part of the project,
and clients consume it.
I'm not sure, from a developer perspective it doesn't really matter if REST
is part of the project (except that you have nothing else to download/use),
but it should be clear what options, as a developer, you have.
One has the choice between Ruby, Python, Go or plain REST.
At least that was my way of thinking.
2. Having sections named "clients" and "client
libraries" can be
confusing.
Agreed.
Perhaps "integrations" or "applications that consume
hawkular" is better
for "clients"?
I thought of "consumers" for a short name. As we have "feeds" that
feed
data and "consumers" that consumed and display or do something with the
data. Still not convinced about that name though....
3. Is there a section dedicated to community events
(meetups/conferences/hackaton/summit, etc.) where there are talks about the
project? Didn't see it in the diagram.
Good point.
We should probably splash them on the front page + blog.
4. Overview can link to quick start imo
Not sure what you mean, after one read the overview he should definitely be
invited to get started.
5. What should be the difference between quick start and the
download
sections?
Quick start explains how to install the quickest way and get something out
of the product.
The download section allows to find links of latest and previous releases.
6. Ways to contact community? I saw only social links in the footer,
but
what about mailing list/irc,etc.?
That would be in Community>Connect
p.s. I wrote an article couple of years ago on usability of
community
websites, maybe some ideas from there would be helpful as well

I'll have a look, thanks !
