Thibault Piana commented on THRIFT-4710:
----------------------------------------
I am gonna take the opportunity offerred by this thread to discuss about the
website.
I think (and this is only my point of view) that the current website is a
little outdated. So, couldn't we take advantage of this issue to consider a
migration of the website to a public platform (such as github) as well as a
graphic and structural redesign ?
In fact the design looks a little "old". When compared to similar projects,
such as gRPC (https://grpc.io/), it seems that Thrift is 10 years behind.
We could therefore start on a brand new site, develop with more advanced web
technos than a simple CMS, in order to make something modular, which could be
easily improved.
It's only an idea, but if you agree with something like that, I would be
interested in participating in its development.

> Key: THRIFT-4710
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4710
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: Documentation, Website
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Priority: Major
>
> Recent changes in Apache infrastructure has made it impossible to use the
> existing ASF CMS system to manage the Apache Thrift web site. We need to
> extract and move the content somewhere else. For reference, see:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17519
> This is a bunch of work nobody was expecting to have to do.
> My recommendation is to put the documentation into the "docs/" (or leave it
> in "doc/", perhaps, it if works) and use https://readthedocs.org/ to create
> the documentation web site. Documentation updates can be pushed into the
> repository with {{`[ci skip]`}} or maybe we teach GitHub and/or our Appveyor
> and Travis to do nothing on pull requests that only contain updates to
> markdown and/or rst files.
