Hi everyone, I’d like to modernize the Open Babel webpages, including migrating away from MediaWiki to Markdown / Jekyll.
The idea behind the MediaWiki site was to enable anyone to edit. Unfortunately, unlike Wikipedia, we don’t have the same level of anti-spam resilience. So we had to move to a “human-approved” account system, which sorta defeats the purpose. I migrated the Avogadro website last year (https://avogadro.cc/) which now lives as a set of Markdown files on GitHub. People can click a link from the website and propose an edit - but with GitHub providing the authentication. One nice bonus is that I’d be able to integrate the documentation at ReadTheDocs directly: http://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Before I do this for Open Babel, I wanted to get some opinions. Pro? Con? Ambivalent? -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ OpenBabel-Devel mailing list OpenBabel-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openbabel-devel
