[pycsw-devel] new website development

[Ryan Clark]

This kind of documentation would be a great target for Jekyll + GitHub pages. I guess you would have to use markdown though?

Hi Tom,

This is a very good idea for all the reasons you mentioned.
+1

BTW, I am preparing an HTML5 presentation for FOSS4G 2013 and I am wondering where this would live and be maintained.

If the web-site code lives in a new git repository, then I guess it would be natural to add resources there, right?

Best,
Angelos

Hi all,

The Sphinx documentation in [1] powers the pycsw.org<http://pycsw.org> website and associated documentation.

Sphinx docs were initially setup to manage both to make things easy, however given project maturation, our OSGeo incubation process, I think it's a good time to decouple the website content from pure software documentation and manage them separately.  Rationale/benefits:

- web content is growing (OSGeo incubation will soon lead us to PSC/RFC's and so on, community, FAQ)
- website is due for a nice redesign (the docs don't need as much flare)
- website announcements are natural for a blog setup
- the website's lifecycle shouldn't/won't have to move along with software release

I've opened a ticket for this [2].

Comments? Ideas? Objections?

It would be great to have some help especially in the website/template design, so if anyone has a flare for web design/UI, any contributions are more than welcome.

I'm initially thinking for the design to be implemented using Bootstrap [3], and setup using Pelican [4] (n.b. we don't have to redo the web content which is already in rST).
