The syslog-ng.org website

This is the source of syslog-ng.org. To build it, you need to have Leiningen installed, and afterwards the static site is buildable with the lein build-site command. The needed files are out/index.html and out/bundles/, the rest is not used by the site.

To run a local server that serves the content and rebuilds automatically, run lein ring server-headless.

syslog-ng.org's Issues

The "visit us on github" button is too big on mobile

On my Galaxy S2, the "Visit us on GitHub" button is far too large, making the page wider than the screen, and forcing a scrollbar everywhere. It doesn't need to be that big on small screens.

Add an "issues" button

It should point to the waffle.io board.

Page publishing broken?

Although the latest merges finished, and travis reported no error, the gh-pages branch is not updated. I assume it failed because I set the tokens, and I do not have access to the repo anymore. A set -e to build/travis-publish-gh-page.sh could be useful, and a refresh of the token in .travis.yml.

Link to the patterndb rule project needed

We should place a link to the patterndb project onto the website.

See syslog-ng/syslog-ng#161 for previous discussion.

A few ideas...

We could rename Features to Why syslog-ng?, because we are answering questions, and that header is more catchy, and a tiny bit more appropriate.

(Thanks Jim for the idea!)

The BETA link became irrelevant

With the release of syslog-ng 3.6.1, the beta link became irrelevant. It should likely be removed.

News should include release news too!

News should include release news, and a link to the release notes a'la the download buttons.

Move download buttons higher?

Instead of having them in the "Getting Started" section, how about under the social buttons? They feel like they belong closer to that area. Plus, they'd be visible without scrolling, and there's some empty area there.

Offer NEWS as RSS

As the title says. We need a little DSL for news then, and we can easily generate an atom/rss feed from that.

the drop down menu is always open on the phone

Which takes precious space.

Integrate the 3rd-party repo page better

Having a link to the third party repo page on the BalaBit website is not the most useful, that page isn't easy to quickly find information at. Instead, I'd have a popup dialog with tabs for the various OSes.

One tab for Free OSes, another for commercial Unixes. Within each tab, we'd have a sidebar for each OS. Or perhaps a table? Not sure. Something visually aesthetic.

Supported versions to become a dialog?

Scrolling down to supported versions isn't the most intuitive. How about putting that info into a dialog instead?

The dialog would have the supported branches on the sidebar.

https does not work

When visiting https://balabit.github.io/syslog-ng.org, some of the resources do not load, because they're always loaded from a http:// URL. We should use protocol-neutral URLs instead.

navbar :active on Firefox is wrongly colored

The links on the navbar - when clicked - remain black on Firefox, while they retain their normal color on Chromium. Firefox needs an :active CSS thingy for them.

The download badge show pre-releases too

The download badge should show the last release that is NOT a pre-release. The link should point towards the same release, too.
