Hi Gabriel,

Just to check: the one thing we're waiting on for this is INFRA-5092
[1], and once the CMS is enabled then the site will automatically be
up, with the next step being the committing of the site content that
Matthias has done into svn under [2], and with those two things
taken care of then we'll have a working site up at [3] -- is that
all correct?
Yes, that's it exactly. I could have committed the site immediately
but I figured it's easier to debug the almost empty default template
from INFRA in case there are problems. I've never seen the CMS in
action, just the page generator so you never know.
If there are any other points that are missing (and for which I can
take some action on), anyone who can point me in the right
direction?
Hmm, except for a download page I think it's pretty much done. We
could always use a getting started page though that explains how to
set up a new project with Maven. But since there's no release vote
on the site there's no deadline on that.
BTW, I'm currently working on an archetype that should streamline
project setup and make things easier to explain.
I guess we've still got a short little while before the release for
the INFRA issue to happen, but should that not happen, what do you
think of just putting in a redirect to the wiki [4]? Any idea if
that's technically easy/possible?
Technically possible yes, but a second ticket to INFRA will probably
take longer than getting the CMS configured. And then we'd have to
get the redirect removed which is going to take another ticket.
If I can help out on this, I really want to (in the last couple of
days before I'm on vacation and away from internet access for a bit)
-- I would also particularly like to take some of the pressure off
of Matthias on this if possible (if that's ok for you Matthias!), as
he's been pretty alone on taking care of this stuff so far.
Thank you, Gabriel, much appreciated! As I said, I don't think there's
anything that really needs to be done right now, but we should
distribute knowlege in case I'm run over by a bus ;-)
I have attached the site to CRUNCH-56 [5]. If you want to run INFRA's
page generator locally, you have to check out [6], change to the
directory and run the markdownd daemon (you may need to install some
dependencies, for me it was only python-markdown):
export MARKDOWN_SOCKET=`pwd`/markdown.socket
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
python markdownd.py
Then run the build_site.pl (http://build_site.pl) script:
./build_site.pl (http://build_site.pl) --source-base path/to/site/trunk/ \
--target /tmp/site
Next publish the website via some HTTP server:
cd /tmp/site/content && python -m SimpleHTTPServer
That's it really. All documentation you might need is linked from the
CMS reference page [7]; the documentation for the Bootstrap CSS
framework is at [8].
Regards,
Matthias
