[Sculptor 3] Project website

[Torsten Juergeleit]

There's a new repository named "sculptor.github.io". This repository holds the source code of a site which is generated with Jekyll-Bootstrap and published with GitHub Pages.

The site is reachable via http://sculptor.github.io/. A first page is implemented here.

I created a Jekyll-Bootstrap theme by adopting the design and approach of the project DbFit.

The following pages are available:

• Homepage
• Documentation
• Overview
• Maven Setup

What do you think?

IMHO we should use a "real" domain name for the project website and not GitHubs URL.

How about opting for the domain "sculptormdsd.org"? This "hyphen-less" domain is in line with "springframework.org" and can be used as Java package name (btw. using a hyphen in a Java package name like "org.sculptor-mdsd" is not encouraged as mentioned in Java bug #4080461).

And the corresponding Twitter and Facebook accounts "sculptormdsd" are available as well.

What do you think?

The website theme looks good.

On the name, I personally like MDSD, but maybe DSL is more widely familiar to people.  e.g. sculptordsl.org.  What do you think?

[Karsten Thoms]

My 2 cents:

Sculptor is far more than just a DSL, thus I won't vote for that. Also not "mdsd". But I lack finding good names also. "sculptorframework.org" seems too long. You could decide having a domain like "sculptor-framework.org" or "sculptor-rad", but leave the base package just "org.sculptor".

I know you will not like it on first sight but I always think about sculptor as 'generator'. It follows many principles like MDSD, MDA, DDD, ... but who cares. You wrote simple model and it generates everything necessary to create project. For me best is sculptorgenerator.org (eu?).

I would like to keep org.sculptor as name for package.

[Pavel Tavoda]

Bootstrap is always good choice. I like it, we can look now for automatic transformation of current pages.

[Torsten Juergeleit]

For me best is sculptorgenerator.org (eu?).

I'm fine with sculptorgenerator.org (together with ".com").

I would like to keep org.sculptor as name for package.

Me too.

Maybe we could add the prefix "org.sculptor.generator" to all Java packages to please the Sonatype guys accepting Sculptor for being added to Maven Central.

They don't care about package names but about 'packaging' names. We can use as groupId org.sculptorgenerator and it will be fine.

I bought sculptorgenerator.org and also sculptorgenerator.com, registration take some time but usually not more than 2 days.

Excellent. I'll prepare our GitHub pages project to use this domain. After finishing I'll send you the corresponding information to redirect the domains to GitHubs servers. Then you can setup the domain forwarding with the domain name registrars tooling, e.g. http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/422/forwarding-or-masking-your-domain-name

How about registering the corresponding account "sculptor(generator)" on Twitter and Facebook as well?

[Pavel Tavoda]

I order at my favorite 'websupport.sk'. They have very nice web tool for editing DNS records.

Please register on Twitter and Facebook I have no account there and also lack of knowledge how to do it.

TNX

Ah, another one who's refusing this fancy social stuff. I've no account, knowledge and need either.
I only found the configuration in the GitHub pages site generated by jekyll-bootstrap. So I assumed that these accunts are essential for a project nowaday :-)

Ron, are you keen on using this social stuff?

/Torsten

[Ron Smith]

I avoid facebook, but G+ and Twitter maybe.

[Pavel Tavoda]

LOOOOL

now I know why sculptor spreading is so difficult :-D.

@Pavel, the GitHub pages site is ready to be forwarded to from the domains sculptorgenerator.org and sculptorgenerator.com as described. The necessary DNS changes are described in the ticket https://github.com/sculptor/sculptor.github.io/issues/1  

/Torsten

[Torsten Juergeleit]

The domain sculptorgenerator.org is redirecting to GitHub pages site now. Excellent.

@Pavel, the domain sculptorgenerator.com has to be redirected to sculptorgenerator.org instead of http://sculptor.github.io/. This is described in ticket #2.

/Torsten

[Pavel Tavoda]

Some DNS changes are taking too long (A records). Try something like:

http://wqwq.sculptorgenerator.com/

It should redirect you to sculptorgenerator.org.

However ORG site is down now, we have to wait for gitHub support.

Pavel

[Torsten Juergeleit]

The redirect of sculptorgenerator.com to sculptorgenerator.org is working.

[Torsten Juergeleit]

I signed up for the twitter account @sculptorgen. The twitter link on the homepage is update accordingly.

/Torsten

[Torsten Juergeleit]

I did some work on documentation:

• added more details to the GitHub projects README
• fixed #8 - added missing marketing slogans and extended teaser text on Sculptors homepage
  
• created initial version of development environment documentation
• This doc obsoletes some (outdated) information in other pages, e.g. the documentation on Maven setup.
• The corresponding section from within the Developer Guide is already removed.

Please review.
