---------------------------------
Summary: Switch website CMS from Jekyll to Middleman
Key: MESOS-829
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-829
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: project website
Reporter: Dave Lester
Assignee: Dave Lester
Priority: Critical
We currently use Jekyll as the CMS to manage the Mesos website. It does most of
what we need by offering templates and power to control how pages render. The
only issue is that when you build from source files Jekyll will wipe away any
hidden files in the rendered directory. This is problematic since both the
source and live directories are in version control (svn). Our recent website
revision history has been a mess, because we often end up wiping out/rewriting
I'd like to switch the site to use Middleman to render our static site files.
We are using Middleman for Apache Aurora, and it doesn't face the issue of
wiping out hidden files. Additionally, it seems capable of all the same
rendering features of Markdown that we currently use. The only difference is
that redcarpet (the library for converting markdown to HTML) needs to use ruby
3+.
Thoughts?
