Short summary: I have a beta site at http://avogadro.github.io/ (not the
permanent home) and want feedback
I mentioned this previously, but I've made significant progress in extracting
everything from MediaWiki and getting a functional Jekyll site going.
I'm tired of maintaining MediaWiki, and I dislike the theme/skins and the spam
issues. I looked around at possibilities, and thought that using a static site
generator like Jekyll would be a great idea:
* People can still edit the Git repository
* No security issues
* Infinitely customizable
* Easier to translate and mirror (and distribute with Avogadro itself)
While there were many concerns, particularly about editing, there seemed to be
general support. It took a bit of time to wrap my head around Jekyll, but I've
migrated almost everything from MediaWiki.
I'd definitely like some feedback. Please take a look at
http://avogadro.github.io/
* What you like
* What you don't
* Bugs or missing content (e.g., it looks horrible on platform X or browser Y)
* How to easily say "if you want to edit/improve this, please do X" on the site
A lot of things need updating, and I'll be hiring a small team of
undergraduates starting in January to update and complete an Avogadro v1 (and
eventually v2) manual, including thorough tutorials and screencasts.
Thanks,
-Geoff
P.S. The developer docs are there too, but I'm thinking these should really be
migrated to GitHub wiki pages to "live" with the repositories themselves.
