[General] Fwd: [Chandler-dev] Release number and date on chandlerproject.org

[Mimi Yin]

Moving this discussion over to the General List.

1. The top bar (where currently there is only: Open Source  
Applications Foundation) was intended to display 'news items' like  
new releases. (See mock-up.)

2. We should probably have release numbers for both Desktop, Hub and  
Server, which should take care of Heikki's layout concerns.

3. The lack of a green download arrow for 'Download Server' is  
deliberate just as Jeffrey said. (Our problem doesn't seem to be that  
people can't find it, but that it's still too prominent for many end- 
users!)

We have a longer-term problem however. Since Server/Desktop releases  
are no longer in lock-step, what happens when the Server is at 0.8.1?  
and the Desktop is at 0.7.8 or vice versa? What do we display in the  
top area? I have a proposed solution in the mockup below. The layout  
of the release timeline is rather complex, so it might need to be a  
graphic.
