> jboss.org/tools have started to have issues scaling on several fronts.
> 1) no clear path to what we want users to download (too many upfront choices)
> 2) we are missing info about what jbosstools actually does
> 3) updating it requires using magnolia (limited access, no option for easy review or experimenting without pushing fully live)
> 4) the content is generally getting very stale
> 5) it is not easy to blog via community.jboss.org - resulting in less content (#4)
>  etc. etc.
> 6) update for releases are a lot of copy/paste and manual updating. if we want to reorg that content it is alot of manual labor.
> We are looking into using awestruct as a way to solve a lot of the technical/practical issues. Other projects like wildfly.org, arquillian.org, aerogear.org, infinispan.org have used that and its improved their publishing process and the content.
> https://github.com/xcoulon/jbosstools-website has a current experimental push of the progress.
> http://tools-stg.jboss.org/ <-- current staged version
