Benjamin Mahler commented on MESOS-829:
---------------------------------------
Sounds like a better workaround to me. The website is a bit of a wild west (no
code reviews, just direct commits), but I've been trying to clean things up a
little. Feel free to make more cleanups as you please (we get commit emails so
we can at least see any changes as they are committed). The html files could
also use some formatting love!
> 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?
