Hi all, If we want a blog for Lucene.Net on blogs.apache.org, the instructions to request one are at <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Resource+request+FAQs> Mainly we should have a list of ASF ids of the initial set of admins and authors.
I had a look at how the RSS snippets are added to www.apache.org's index page and it doesn't look to difficult to adapt. In <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site/trunk/content/index.html> there is {% for e in blog.list %} <h4><a href="{{ e.url }}">{{ e.title }}</a></h4> <div class="section-content">{{ e.content|safe|truncatewords_html:50 }}</div> <hr> {% endfor %} which iterates over a blogs collection created in path.pm via [qr!^/index\.html$!, news_page => { blog => ASF::Value::Blogs->new(blog => "foundation", limit=> 3), }, ], and uses the ASF::Value::Blog package that is part of the CMS. <https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/cms/build/lib/ASF/Value/Blogs.pm> So getting content from the blog to the main page is pretty easy. I think the main site is re-created every fifteen minutes to ensure things are fresh, not sure how one would go about this for a page that doesn't change that often (manually triggering buildbot might be an option). We'd need to ask this on the site-dev mailing list which is dedicated to the CMS. Stefan
