Done:
New Site Look and Feel
Original Design Goals:
- Give the site have a sense of "integrity". Make the site seem likes its own place while tying this in to the Eclipse mother ship
- Make it seem like Higgins is a "cool" project
- Follow this messaging hierarchy:
- Tagline: Open Source Information Cards
- Longer description: Higgins an extensible, open source identity framework. For end-users Higgins provides an Identity Selector (think "wallet") application that allows a use get, manage and use "Information Cards". For developers Higgins provides a platform- and protocol-agnostic identity management framework. The Higgins framework is an abstraction layer that provides a set of APIs for developers. Developers can use Higgins to build identity "provider" web services (e.g. a Token Service) as well as to enable relying websites and applications to rely on identity assertions from identity providers.
To Do:
- Gather feedback on http://eclipse.org/higgins
Done:
New Downloads Organization
- Create new download approach
- Design new download approach to meet the needs of different "users"
- Use the Components page as a "download index"?
- Call out "Selected Downloads" (a few easy-to-consume solutions) vs. All downloads?
- Take out a layer. For example, combine the page that lists all the available builds Example 1 with the page that you get when you click a build, that lists the available parts Example 2. This could be done by adding 3 additional links to each row on the first page, and eliminating the 2nd.
- Vet download design with the dev list.
- Develop new content required by download approach
- Implemement new download approach - bugzilla: 218923
- Design new download approach to meet the needs of different "users"

Incorporation of CloudTripper Website
- Start with a link. Make CloudTripper is a visible example of one type of thing that can be done with Higgins
- Evaluate cost/benefits of consolidation
Flash
- Create flash video(s) and make available from a link on the home page.
- Could be several short 60-90 second ones. See two Data Portability videos, one in flash and the other in Blair Witch project style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TupCZY09Kwc
- Also show at workshops, etc.
- When the site looks good and navigates well and we have a more polished end user experience post to YouTube and blog about it.
- Can we get Derick Ashong to star in a brief video?
Tutorials
(This is much lower priority, requires more maturity)
- Create hands on developer tutorials (i.e. how to add Higgins to my blog, How to hook a silo site up to CloudTripper or whatever...etc.)
Bounties
- Jazz up the request for volunteers with requests for specific bounties (when funding permits)
Other
etc...
