<p>Thanks for starting to set up the website, we will keep looking
like vapour-ware until we have a presence.</p>
<p>Yes Jo, this is worthy of a PSC vote. Lets continue discussing in
this thread and at this weeks video meeting. Then I'll put a
motion forward based on our rough consensus.</p>
<p>I'm mildly in favour of "keep-it-simple", and keep barriers to
entry low. It significantly helps with the long term
sustainability of the project.</p>
<p>Re domain name, I think we should ensure our github basename and
domain url are the same. Either "thegooddocs" or
"thegooddocsproject". Selecting this means that we have decided
not to stand separately to WriteTheDocs. This will be another
motion for the PSC to decide. <br>

<div dir="auto">I agree up to a point but with GitHub, all we
require for people to be involved either contributing to the
website or the templates is one GitHub account, whereas if we go
with a different service we're increasing the barriers to
participation.

style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Quick question
guys. Have we finalized on GitHib pages or open to
using a content management system (CMS) such as
Wordpress or Drupal?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I reckon in the
near future, we may want to allow SSL, subdomains,
comments, forms, chatbots, survey results, video
streaming, and downloadables, etc. on the project
website. So while it's great to add a readme.md on the
code that we host on GitHub, I personally believe we
should move to a CMS. Here's a website I put together
last year in less than two hours using Wordpress: <a

<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If we ever
create an API, it would make it easier for us to host
swagger documentation using a front end such as slate
on an endpoint of our choice. Here's something I put
up 5 years ago: <a

<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I'm happy to
pay for the costs. Would recommend purchasing from
Google Domains as they're far better than GoDaddy and
others. We could use the AWS free tier to host for
free for up to a year and get free SSL and content
delivery using Cloudflare. Do we have a budget
committee or a nominated treasurer?<br>

<div>Hi Felicity,</div>

<div>There's a list of supported themes here: <a

<div>For <a href="http://uk.osgeo.org"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
moz-do-not-send="true">uk.osgeo.org</a> we use <a
href="https://github.com/orderedlist/minimal"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/orderedlist/minimal</a>
which is, as it says, extremely minimal but it
holds up well. We use an additional element to
automatically render csv files as tables, but that
has slipped my mind for the moment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>URLs- <a href="http://thegooddocsproject.org"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
moz-do-not-send="true">thegooddocsproject.org</a>
does seem to be available. I would be happy to pay
the cost of that domain if we want to go for it
(the first place I saw has it at £15.99 which is
not a massive outlay).<br>

</div>
<div>I've been experimenting with github pages
to make a website.</div>

<div>If anyone feels like hooking it up to
Jekyll/Markdown whatever to make it beautiful
please jump in. Let me know if you have any
access issues. Also, it's just placeholder
text I put on that page. Go ahead and change
it.</div>
