Thread: New jdbc website
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.

I had a look at forrest today. It looks very good and can generate either dynamic or static web sites. -- Paul Thomas +------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Micro Systems Limited | Software Solutions for Business | | Computer Consultants | http://www.thomas-micro-systems-ltd.co.uk | +------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
Marc, We won't need jetty, if you have tomcat, that should be enough. Thanks, Dave On Sat, 2004-10-09 at 14:40, Marc G.

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. Kris Jurka

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? > Kris Jurka -s

Does Forrest allow that? Say generate the translated strings off > the pages, and the create several static versions, one per language? 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. Kris Jurka
