Can anyone recommend a good CMS to base the main site on? PHP, Java, Python, Ruby are all fine. The CMS has to be open source. If no one has any specific recommendations then it's time to plow through wikipedia's list when someone has some free time.
It doesn't have to be anything flashy, I'm just not too keen on building such a system from scratch again. Simplicity and cleanliness would in fact be preferred over some oversized behemoth, the contents and presentation should preferrebly be a fully separated in XHTML and CSS. It will basically be used to tie the forum, issue tracker, java doc, wiki and svn info together. The main site will also provide important functions such as the gateway to downloading the distributions, initial impression of the program and developer info.
Navigation-wise I'm thinking two menus. One main, containing links such as: "Features", "Download", "Wiki", "Forum", "Development" and one secondary menu showing the detailed navigation for each section (for "Development" that would be something similar to "Subversion", "Issue tracker", "JavaDoc", "Class diagram", ...) |
