Hey all -[~janhoy] [~abenedetti] [~epugh] [~ichattopadhyaya] - I think that's
everyone?
I took a crack at implementing the approach Jan outlined above, and I think it
worked out pretty reasonably?
It really didn't even require too many changes. The diff is pretty small - a
new template, a new top-level landing page for the blog, and then a few sample
blog posts as placeholders.
The blog is linked in the header bar, as a sibling to "news", "downloads", etc.

The blog page itself has a brief overview (and links to contribution
instructions), and then snippets from recent posts.

You can click any blog post title to be taken to a separate HTML page with the
full post. As we discussed above, blog posts can either be a full "proper"
post or just a short blurb that links out to some 3rd party website. There's
not much to see as it's all just placeholder text, but here's what the page for
a specific blog post looks like.

I'd love to hear what you guys think. It's not as fully-featured as
integrating Wordpress or something like that, but IMO it's low-maintenance,
works with the system (i.e. Pelican) we're already using, and is a relatively
low barrier for folks to contribute.
If there aren't any major objections to going the "just Pelican" approach, we
can iterate on specifics in [the PR|https://github.com/apache/solr-site/pull/97]

> Context: [~dep4b] reached out to me regarding my previous proposal for a
> community blog. Perhaps he wants to spearhead this? Thanks Eric! My dad is
> unwell, so I'll be out of action for another week. This is just a quick
> jotting down of my notes regarding my thoughts, plans.
>
> Proposal:
> Apache Solr should have an official blog. We should blog on the official blog
> often, regarding features, tips/tricks etc. To this effect, [~dsmiley] and I
> agreed over a call that he will volunteer to write frequent Solr news (what
> happened in past month) type posts.
> To set us up with this, I had planned to start a blog seciton on our page,
> using some pelican theme. Unfortunately, life intervened before I could start.
> We should do something like this
> ([https://snipcart.com/blog/pelican-blog-tutorial-search-comments)] and add
> section in our current Solr site (solr-site repo).
> Post that, all posts could be written up as PRs to that repo, and approving
> it can publish the blog post to the site. I think we already have necessary
> plumbing to have staging and prod for the pelican site, so all this should be
> easy to do operationally.
> Another aspect would be that non-committers can also submit PRs to publish
> blog posts, which could be super cool.
