I have put a small table at the top of the homepage to list both stable and maintenance recent releases and announcements:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Welcome
Is this an improvement (to encourage older 2.4.x users to upgrade) or a regression (might tempt new users to to 2.4.x rather than 2.5.x)?
Kind regards,

I see it as an improvement. I'd also add a bleeding edge link to the master
nightly build,
but I'd like to hear from others first.
Maybe at the bottom of the table, as people tend to reach for the first
link they see

The home page seems messed up, we have lost our two column layout. Really we are now just reproducing the download page and I do not see the value.
The goal of this is to show the project is alive and releasing software, any chance we can get the latest entry from our blog instead?

Ciao Jody,
I disagree, I have got people complaining multiple times in the past
to be in troubles understanding what to download from where, for
stable releases but also for nightlies (especially for them).
Having a clear indication of the available downloads on the home page
is much more important than a map with some OSM data (at least IMHO
).

Hi,
I quite like it and agree with Andrea’s suggestion of having a link to the nightly too.
However I’d suggest changing the way it is presented slightly. Currently all four boxes are the same size and have the same amount of text in (exact same number of characters!), even though the text is slightly different. This makes it a little harder to intuitively grab stuff.
Instead I’d suggest a format like:
This transmission is intended for the named addressee(s) only and may contain sensitive or protectively marked material up to RESTRICTED and should be handled accordingly. Unless you are the named addressee (or authorised to receive it for the addressee) you may not copy or use it, or disclose it to anyone else. If you have received this transmission in error please notify the sender immediately. All email traffic sent to or from us, including without limitation all GCSX traffic, may be subject to recording and/or monitoring in accordance with relevant legislation.
At the very least making the download visually disparate from the release notes.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Jody, totally agree, the landing-page got messed up.
Its a mix up of Events, Supporter-Thanks, Commercials/Suggestions and repeated content from e.g. download page. I don’t see the benefit of having the table of “Most recent releases” at top of it. In addition to that point the download-page could have some indicator icons from the build-boxes (Jenkins widgets). Having this in mind it would also be worth at the download-page to show activity in general, maybe take from ohloh http://www.ohloh.net/p/geoserver/widgets
I like the idea of having a twitter feed/ blog role with headlines on the right side, down below the browse section followed by icons of upcoming events.
I’m bit confused about the OSM Map in the middle as well (what is it for and which content is served (maybe it should be the users-map ???))

If that is the direction we want we should replace the map area with a series of attractive download buttons and call it a day.
Right now the loss of the two column layout is masking what is trying to be achieved.
This is the kind of thing I wrote a jira for when considering clarifying GeoWebCache (sigh).

Agreed that the home page needs work. Actually a few weeks back I started putting together a static home page with the intent of replacing the current site with one hosted by github pages. As part of that I wanted to revisit the layout of the home page.
My thought re downloads was to replace the big Download button in the upper right hand corner with something that made better utilization of space. Rather than have one big download button have that space contain 3 little buttons labeled “Stable”, “Latest”, “Nightly”. And I guess now “Maintenance”.
This thread does bring up the interesting thought about what should be prominent on the home page. I do think a live map backed by a real GeoServer is a good thing. Perhaps just less prominent makes sense.
Anyways, perhaps I will try to finalize my initial home page re-organization so that I can send out a mock up for people to ingest. Just have to find the time…

Hi,
I quite like it and agree with Andrea’s suggestion of having a link to the nightly too.
However I’d suggest changing the way it is presented slightly. Currently all four boxes are the same size and have the same amount of text in (exact same number of characters!), even though the text is slightly different. This makes it a little harder to intuitively grab stuff.
Instead I’d suggest a format like:
This transmission is intended for the named addressee(s) only and may contain sensitive or protectively marked material up to RESTRICTED and should be handled accordingly. Unless you are the named addressee (or authorised to receive it for the addressee) you may not copy or use it, or disclose it to anyone else. If you have received this transmission in error please notify the sender immediately. All email traffic sent to or from us, including without limitation all GCSX traffic, may be subject to recording and/or monitoring in accordance with relevant legislation.

Fixed the two column layout, and added a download table into the mix (against my better judgement):
I don’t think links on the home page help all that much. It is fine for GeoGit where there is one thing to download, since we have three the text on the download page is kind of needed.
The download links and announcements do not give an indication that they are “new” and thus do not appear exciting.
Making a static home page would be a good thing, as long as we pull some live content in so you can tell at a glance that the project is alive.
The map is important, as the first thing I see people do is zoom in and try and evaluate rendering quality With that in mind a rolling banner of pretty maps would be more useful then the dynamic map we have today.

This thread does bring up the interesting thought about what should be prominent on the home page. I do think a live map backed by a real GeoServer is a good thing. Perhaps just less prominent makes sense.
Anyways, perhaps I will try to finalize my initial home page re-organization so that I can send out a mock up for people to ingest. Just have to find the time…

Dear All,
I have taken the freedom to further modify the table that Jody put together.
I have save locally the old layout in case we want to revert.
We often say to people “get a nightly out of a stable branch which should be safe” hence calling nightlies “development” sounded unfair and misleading to me.

I preferred Jonathan's wording, which was more succinct and included a Release Notes. It only lacked an Announcement link.
Also, can a nightly ever be considered stable/maintenance? Nightlies can have failing unit tests and cite tests. I wonder if we make these harder to find by leaving them off the front page?
Kind regards,
Ben.

How about something like this? Only the last three columns would have links. This avoids overlong cells which break formatting (for clarity I have left off the links):
| Stable | 2.5.0 | Download | Announcement | Release Notes |
| Maintenance | 2.4.6 | Download | Announcement | Release Notes |
Kind regards,
Ben.

Failing cite tests yes, but failing unit tests? I was under the impression
that
they are not generated in that case?
About their stability, I basically only use nightlies, because they always
have that extra fix/feature that I need and can't wait for a release to
deploy:
so far cannot say I had significant problems because of that

The two column layout uses
{section}
{column:width=50%}
welcome stuff
{column}
{column}
map stuff
{column}
{section}
There are several sections like this when you look at the wiki text.

geoserver-master-nightly runs every 24 hours on a timer with -DskipTests; this is the command:
/opt/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin/mvn -DskipTests -Dbuild.hudsonId=233 -P release,communityRelease clean install
Looks to me like nightlies are built regardless of unit test failures.
About their stability, I basically only use nightlies, because they always

We archive daily builds of master built with unit tests. See this comparison table:

Nice, at the same time, too bad it's not anything official.
Did you ever think of making that build server official too? Having one
more does not hurt imho
