Thanks Chris for updating the update_dev_dir.sh script so it also updates the website.

http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/changeset/11895/

I've removed the sponsorship README (which I think is no longer relevant).

http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/changeset/11900

And updated the terse docs on how the website resources are updated.

I'm interested in spreading around the knowledge about how to
update our website. I've started a very rough document describing
how things are hosted here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Infrastructure

I'm currently very interested in seeing this page updated:
http://openlayers.org/sponsorship/

This page has Chris' email and phone number on it as contact
details. I'm concerned about folks having trouble getting in touch
with us due to outdated information (and I think a list accessible
by more than one person is more appropriate than a single email
address/phone number). I've had several (three) folks get in touch
to say that they have tried to inquire about sponsorship and have
not heard anything back.

I know none of us have real time to dedicate to this stuff. All the
more reason to document how things are done so more people can help.

If anybody can take time to figure out how to update the website,
please document your findings on the page above.

Tim,

I pointed you to:

http://svn.openlayers.org/project/sponsorship/update_website.sh

Right, I know what is in SVN. The missing instructions are what to do
on the openlayers.org server.

Okay. The missing instructions are "Nothing". Running that script in
your local checkout of the sponsorship directory updates the website
in the normal cronjob.

If there is anybody else who can see what I'm missing, please chime in.
I don't get the paragraph above.

 From IRC, here is what I have done:

10:25 tschaub hey crschmidt - do you have a few minutes to talk about
this sponsorship dir?
10:26 tschaub I'm thoroughly confused
10:26 tschaub
http://svn.openlayers.org/project/sponsorship/update_website.sh
10:27 tschaub I've got sponsorship checked out at 11893
10:27 tschaub running update_website.sh checks out
project/website/sponsorship in my working copy of project/sponsorship
10:28 tschaub then it runs update_html.py which modifies
sponsorship/index.html
10:28 tschaub then it tries to commit sponsorship
10:28 tschaub which doesn't do anything
10:28 tschaub since sponsorship isn't modified
10:29 tschaub and of course, the website remains unchanged
http://openlayers.org/sponsorship/
10:32 tschaub tschaub@projects:~$ sudo crontab -u openlayers -l
10:32 tschaub # m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * /osgeo/openlayers/docs/dev/tools/update_dev_dir.sh
10:33 tschaub crschmidt: in "updates the website in the normal cronjob"
is "normal cronjob" supposed to be listed above?

Thanks (anyone) for either pointing out what I am missing, or updating
the sponsorship page and then documenting what you did.

7 months out of date http://openlayers.org/sponsorship/
place for notes about how to update
http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Infrastructure

on Friday; running that script:

1. Checks out the website/sponsorship directory
2. Generates a new index.html in website/sponsorship/
3. Runs svn ci (prompting you to enter a commit message).

Since the website is autoupdated from the website/ directory, this
will update the contents of the website.

Is this the information you want to see added to the wikipage above?

Yes, instructions on that wiki page would be preferable to email.

I don't have instructions; this is obviously not an ideal way to
maintain it,
so rather than writing bad instructions, presumably we should fix it.

Rather than have this mess, we can just treat index.html as the source
and
throw away the ReST that it came from; I'll remove the README and the
project/sponsorship directory from SVN, and then it will behave like
the rest
of the website.

Sorry for the confusion.
