New jdbc website

From
Kris Jurka
Date:
I've been working on a new version of the jdbc website to replace the
current aging version.  Before going live with it, I wanted to get your
feedback on it.

http://www.ejurka.com/pgsql/newsite/index.html

The site is built with Apache Forrest and the plan is to put the site
"source" into the cvs repository as a different module, so that
people can contribute to that as well.

Kris,

At first glance the site looks great, this is considerably better than
what we have now.

One thing; I'm not familiar with apache forrest, but if it requires java
or whatever we may have to talk to Marc about getting the libraries, etc
put on the server.

If we run into problems, ie getting either tomcat, or jetty we may have
to consider other servers.

issue to install then the others ...

I had a look at forrest today. It looks very good and can generate either
dynamic or static web sites.

Marc,

We won't need jetty, if you have tomcat, that should be enough.

Thanks,

Yes, Forrest is a Java project, but the site is completely static.
The entire site is generated at once, so there is no need for Java on
the server.

What about adding a possibily to translate the web site
at some point in time? Does Forrest allow that? Say generate the translated
strings off the pages, and the create several static versions, one per language?

For example, the pgAdmin folks made the web site easily translatable by
combining PHP and gettext. Can something similar be done here?

It certainly seems possible, but it's not a built-in feature.  I'm also a
little skeptical of the community stepping up to provide and maintain
these translations.  I also don't know if there's really a demand for
this.

I'm personally not planning on working on this.  It would be nice, but
being from the US I just don't care.
