Hi Daniel,

This is my original proposal. See "Reject Alternative" for more details.

Sebb stated "Could perhaps be compared to changing from Java to Kotlin."

This is a moot discussion. The repository serves as a static folder of various site templates. There is no reasonable argument to be made that anything needs to be preserved as is in perpetuity. Rip down the default branch, put in a readme, have examples in their own branches.

We have a term at the ASF, and it's JFDI. I wish more people would practice it at times :)


Or at least we let COMDEV PMC "own" apache/apache-website-template?

My major object is to publish the docu template under ASF namespace, and
not as a secondary source behind an unmaintained one, which is unreasonable.

the apache-website-template is owned by "the foundation", and not a single project. If comdev wants to be the primary maintainer, it could be moved to maybe comdev-website-templayes, but there is nothing currently preventing you from treating the repository as a comdev repo. You (and everyone else at the ASF) have write access to it.


Best,
tison.

## Background ##

More background can be found in [1][2]. The current website template [3]
has not been updated for six years and uses outdated tech that can hardly
be used for new podlings.

I developed a new template[4], and it's been used for a few podlings
already. All of them are glad to see this improvement.

## Proposal ##

Create a new repo under COMDEV PMC to host the new website template.
Such a
template is mainly for new podlings setup but is also suitable for any
TLPs.

The name is to be determined. Following the self-serve rules, we can only
create repo with comdev- prefix, so perhaps comdev-website-template.

Or from why I create an INFRA ticket, apache/website-template-docusaurus,
with INFRA's help.

## Reject Alternative ##

1. Create a new branch under apache/apache-website-template.
It's discussed in [5][6] and doesn't seem a good direction.

2. Create a new repo under Incubator PMC.
I'm hesitant about this, actually. But Andrew Wetmore wrote:

This is not the purview of the Incubator, and it's not the purview of
Infra.

It's kind of reasonable, so I reached out here first.

Best,
tison.

This feels like we are over-engineering the solution to a simple
problem. Just use the existing website-template repository, have the
default branch be an empty branch with a README that tells you what the
different examples are, each in their own branch or directory.

The repository is meant to show examples, it's not being used in
production or dynamically pulled in on other website builds, so breaking
existing structures is perfectly reasonable.
