Hi All, *WHATS GOING ON?* Just an update on whats going on here. Following as much of the CMS documentation as possible, which is pretty thorough, I've managed to get us to a stage where the entire Gora site documentation is represented in Markdown now and available in SVN. The source for the new site can be found here [0]. The old site has been retained here [1]. We currently are still with the old site until the ticket INFRA-6009 [2] is addressed. Only then will the new site be live.
*WHATS NEXT* I've modelled our site on the bval site[3] as it is clean and responsive. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible and make it as easy as possible to make it easy to contribute documentation to Gora. I also want to make sure that our site drives people to Gora, so in time we can get a twitter stream, LinkedIn feed, etc. embedded within the new site. We also need to make it easier for people to download Gora, so this is the main objective of the new site. I want to make it crystal clear that I am not a website developer. I picked up twitter bootstrap as the overhead is less for me to overcome given the workload I have elsewhere. I hope you guys will help me to help us make the site work for the Gora community. I can assure there will be lots of cock ups in my code, so I would really appreciate feedback once we get it up and running. Also, it would be awesome if any presentation savvy pros amongst us could help iron out a specific design for the site once we see its limitations. The site is just another tool and method we can and should use to grow Gora, so I am looking forward to making the most of the opportunity this will provide us with.
