[pycsw-devel] new website development

[Ryan Clark]

I would say the big benefit to GitHub pages is that they provide your server hosting. Maybe that's not an issue. I think there's also a nice simplicity in keeping the website / documentation code literally in the same repository as the code itself -- just on a separate branch. Again, that may or may not be an issue.

Either way, I'd like to try and help with the website / templating / design. Have you already started some of this work in a separate repository?

Thanks!

Looks like it. Since the existing content is rST, I thought that would be easier. Are there advantages to using Jekyll + GitHub pages? I'm still in the template/design stage, so there's time to change engines.

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><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).
