I'd use something as simple as possible. Personally, I'd go for static HTML
pages, or something almost-static like static pages with some PHP-includes. I
think Jekyll falls into that category.
BTW. Instead of dedicated branch, is it possible to host github pages from
dedicated repository within hydrogen-music project?

I'm not really familiar with Jekyll, Sebastian, but from your description it
sounds good. Lightweight is key, and frankly, I would stay away from anything
that allows comments.... as you know moderating comments is a fulltime job.
Having the ability to manage the code via git easily is a huge plus. In my
uninformed opinion, it sounds good. ;)

Hey Mauser,
We could look at using an openshift solution. Openshift by RedHat uses github
and would allow us to do our site that way using a lamp or wamp stack as a
local development environment.
As far as coding backend, do we really need something as fully featured as a
cms, or can we leave the forums as is, create a static site, and then include a
common navigation into the forums to help marry the two together? One of the
big problems I've encountered with the cms anf forum solutions is integration,
and more specifically, the lack thereof.
I've tried most every cms out there, and when it comes to non-technical people
uploading content to the site, they work great, but we have a fair few tech
savvy people on this project.
I mainly uae codeigniter on my php projects now. And it's a nice and
lightweight php framework. I find it great for making static sites.
Just a couple alternative suggestions.

Hi everyone,
as you might have read on different github issues, i'm currently
thinking about replacing our current website due to various reasons. For
a start, let's leave the forum as it is (that will be the next thing..)
and think about a new home and a new backend for our website.
From my point of view, drupal was quite over-featured for just
maintaining the website. It was hard to maintain and we had (and have)
problems with spam. As a result, more lightwight systems should be
considered for the new website.
In previous conversations, wordpress has been recommended by some
people. This has been also my favourite for quite some time, since i'm
using it also on other projects and it is well maintained. It gives us a
slimmer CMS without all the overhead of drupal.
After starting to look into the "newer" techniques that came up in the
last years, i stumbled upon Jekyll and its github integration. Jekyll is
a generator for static webpages which is supported by github for the
"Github pages", which can be hosted in a github repository side by side
with the source code (in its own branch). This would allow us to host
our webpage via github (which is a great advantage since we do not have
to care for hosting anymore) and manage the code of the site via git.
Having the site in git makes it really easy to propose changes (via pull
requests) and would ease collaborative editing.
The downside (well, maybe..) is that this setup is basically a static
approach, so there is no built-in support for comments (though you can
integrate services like disqus). From my point of view, this limitation
is not a problem. I'm not keen on moderating posts/comments on the
website AND the forum :) And it would be very easy to move the static
pages to a different hosting service if github would close its hosting
service at some time..
I've already pushed some example code to the gh-pages branch of the
hydrogen repository which can be viewed here:
http://hydrogen-music.github.io/hydrogen/ . This is just the default
layout with some content from the curren h2 website.
Please let me know what you think of this solution and if there might be
better solutions for hosting the project website. Has anybody already
experience with hosting pages with jekyll on github?
Best regards,
Sebastian
