Hi Sebastien, I really like the initiative, while cms.apache.org is handy I think the gh-pages repo looks neat plus we can continue to use git and not archaic svn :)
I think we can then perhaps have an automated way to build the gh-pages branch and copy the htmls to cms etc. Should we also use Jekyll based website since the link (http://apache.github.io/cloudstack/) will be built automatically by Github (need to confirm, if it allows for non-master branches)? I’ve some Jekyll based experience, my website too is hosted on Github and uses Jekyll. > On 05-Mar-2015, at 8:01 pm, Sebastien Goasguen <run...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > The website has been bugging me greatly, it's not up to par with today's > website and does not portray our project in a good way. > > I decided to try something quick.
