EGit and JGit Website Updated

February 3rd, 2010

Last night, I updated the EGit and JGit websites in preparation of our upcoming release review.

It’s not perfect, but it’s much better than before.

If you’re an Eclipse project, I highly recommend you checking out the Nova theme and new default template. Having a good website for your open source project is critical to how people perceive your work. Put yourself into a user’s shoes who is trying to find information about your project. They will use a search engine and the first thing they will come across is your web page.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    Like the default template! But I never knew it existed before now. Usually developing for the Eclipse website is so hateful I don't bother, or put it on the wiki.

    Yap, the new template definitely speeds things up.

    We are striving for a minimal website with just the critical bits of information that people need (downloads, documentation, etc…). Everything else we do on the wiki because it's easier.

    Chris, the site looks great.

    As for the template, perhaps someone (not me) can send an email to eclipse.org-committers to announce its availability? I mean, I would do it, but no one reads my email anymore.

    Thanks Denis.

    I posted to the list but it's moderated.
