[sakai2-tcc] New Website Content

[Steve Swinsburg]

IMO mostly static content like these web pages should be part of the Apereo site, but sitting in its own Sakai CLE space. This will still allow the Sakai CLE identity to exist but be gathered together under the Apereo umbrella. I feel it will just be updated then forgotten if its on a separate server.

The sites can have their own look and feel, like how cassandra.apache.org and tomcat.apache.org do, if that is desired, and still demonstrate the apereo parent brand, like how those sites do for apache.

Cheers,
Steve

There are two choices for the reworked CLE web content/site. It can sit off apereo.org, and we can redirect from sakaiproject.org (I had considered this a good choice until OAE's name change), or it can simply replace the content at sakaiproject.org, and be linked from the apereo.org site. I now favour the latter, given the change in OAE circumstance and the additional clarity that brings, although I am open to persuasion otherwise.

It's good to get this content pruned though, then it goes to the Apereo site, is that what you are thinking? Or will we still keep sakaiproject.org? It might get confusing that way.
