More Jakarta download page work
February 13th, 2005 by HenMore work on the Jakarta download page replacement tonight: http://jakarta.apache.org/~bayard/jakarta/site/downloads/download.html
Mainly all about simplification. Still needs CSS improvements where things are a bit cramped; there’s a missing ul tag to fix on the 2nd level of pages (velocity, tomcat, commons) and the cgi strategy (ie mirrors) still needs to be figured out.
Nightlies are now on the specific download page, as suggested by Robert. Makes a lot more sense I think.
So few more bits to do, try and get Jakarta to move to it, and then try to integrate it into larger ideas for java@apache

This is a big improvement so far, but the individual project downlaod pages could be simplified a great deal. Look at the big mess of links at http://jakarta.apache.org/~bayard/jakarta/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.html. I suggest splitting the downloads up into sections, like “Windows”, etc.

I think it’s great.

Dunno Keith, I really hate the ‘.zip’ is for Windows stuff (assuming that’s what you meant). I’ve used .zip on Linux and OS X for ages
And happily used tar.gz on Windows (except with XP’s new .zip only folder thing).
The Tomcat problem is more to do with all the modules (or whatever they are). Could do with something though I agree.
