Hi Doug (and/or anyone else who knows), I had a few questions about editing the incubator website. I'm rounding up some free time to take a pass at adding more introductory help/tutorials to the main site (lots of which might just be pointers to the Wiki).
How is the server that runs the incubator site configured? I gather from svn info that people.apache.org:/www/incubator.apache.org/thrift just serves from: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/site/publish It looks like most sites are generating static HTML into these folders. Is that a strict requirement? Is it possible to place any dynamic scripts into the publish folder, or is it strictly static content? Do you have any recommendations on a web development environment? Do most people typically just check out and run on their own personal/local webservers for testing/development? Thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Doug Cutting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Cutting Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 3:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: website skeleton up I put up a skeletal version of a website at: http://incubator.apache.org/thrift There's lots to be filled in, but it's a start. To edit it you need to have Forrest & Ant installed. Note that Forrest doesn't like Java 1.6 and must be run with Java 1.5. # checkout the site svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift/site cd site # edit the site emacs author/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml # re-generate html & pdf ant # commit changes svn commit -m "improved documentation" # update live site ssh people.apache.org cd /www/incubator.apache.org/thrift svn up Doug
