Hi,

I just finished an implementation of the new website. You can grab a 
copy of

the built site from here:

  
https://bitbucket.org/sirgazil/dnd/downloads/guile-website-20151009.tar.gz


To try it out:

   $ cd path/to/guile-website-mmdd
   $ python3 -m http.server# couldn't find a equivalent in 
Guile


Not nearly so convenient, but Haunt (my static site generator) comes
with such a simple web server:

   guile -c "((@ (haunt serve web-server) serve) (getcwd))" # run
static web server on port 8080



But good to know. I'll use this when migrating my website to Guile :)



Maybe Guile core could use a basic static file web server?  I used to
use the above Python snippet a lot.


Then visit the website at .


It looks great!  Thanks for sharing!  Now, who can help you make the
final edits and get it live?


Thanks, David, and thanks Amirouche and Chris :)

In the meantime, I updated the illustration that was pending, and added 
AGPL license to Scheme code, and CC-BY-SA 4.0 License to graphics to 
save you some edition.


I guess the next step is to add the source to a Git repo in Savannah, 
and do the rest there.


Let me know if you need anything else :)

It looks good! Maybe because I'm getting use to it ;)

More seriously, it always looked good. It doesn't look 'unsophisticated'
(what I called previously 'childish') at all over multiple pages. The
scheme wizards are well represented.

And it definitely makes Guile more welcoming.

I happy that everybody agree that this is the way forward for Guile 
community. I'm also happy to see more people interested in accessibility

and more people acknowledging "worse is better/more accessible".


Thanks everybody!


The source files are available in this provisional repository:

https://bitbucket.org/sirgazil/guile-website

All pages of the current website are migrated to the new style, except
for the following:

* News . I'm currently
linking to Savannah to display all news.
* Community . Should
we add a Community page and link to the main menu? Or do we use the
About page to list the contact info listed in the current Community
page?
* Cool Ideas . Could
these be added to Savannah task tracker instead?
* Graphics  I don't know
what to do with this one yet.

Some other things to do:

* Fetch news from Savannah for the latest news in the home page.
* Update illustration to remove reference to Lua.

This is an overview of the website source directory structure:

guile-website
├── README
└── website
├── apps <- This is how a website is extended:
Blog, PMS, Gallery, etc.
├── static   <- Name-spaced assets for the website 
apps.

├── resources.scm<- A list of all the resources of the
website to be built (HTML, RSS, etc.)
└── utils.scm<- Common variables, URL helpers, etc.

I didn't add the code I'm using for building/testing the website
because it's hideous, and you may want to write your own code for
building anyways (à la GuixSD).

I'm willing to change any silly things you see in the code, so don't
hesitate to ask :)
