> The Apache JDO site is good as far as it goes, but is typically at a developer level. The vast majority of users don't read the JDO specification, and certainly not in any detail. It would benefit from a revamp to take on user-level docs describing basi
c JDO terminology such as PersistenceManager, PersistenceManagerFactory, JDOQL, Extents etc etc. In addition some simple worked examples would aid uptake. The JPOX site already has a selection of such docs at
> http://www.jpox.org/docs/jdo/jdo_overview.html
> and they could be moved across.
> The current site is generated using Anakia, but would likely be more extensible and cleaner using Maven1 site/xdoc plugins. As a demonstration of this, there is an initial Maven1 version of the Apache JDO site at
> http://www.jpox.org/apachejdo/index.html
> This demo has had very little configuration, and is located there temporarily to allow feedback, and will be removed in the future. Maven1 site/xdoc allows "navigation.xml" (to define the side navigation), "site.jsl" (to define the velocity process of p
utting together top, side, body and bottom areas on each page), and 3 CSS files to control styling, fonts and such. The side menu can benefit from submenus with expand/collapse to aid display of large amounts of content.
> I'd anticipate adding the following side menu groups, but others may have better ideas
> * Documentation - with pages for different JDO concepts PM, PMF, JDOQL, Extent, etc
> * Tutorials - very simple worked examples, things like 1-1, or replication, or how to have an M-N with attributes
