[pycsw-devel] new website development

[Tom Kralidis]

Agreed, once the repo (https://github.com/geopython/pycsw.org) is setup, we can move your presentation there ("presentations/").

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 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).
