Hi Christopher, GitHub Pages is actually powered by Jekyll: http://jekyllrb.com
So that would mean to add such build method to Apache CMS. I'd be more than happy to explore such path. On 04/03/15 22:06, Christopher wrote:
All, Has any thought been put into leveraging GitHub pages for project documentation, static site hosting? A lot of www.apache.org is simple static content, as are project pages. Since a lot of projects are now using git, and we mirror projects in GitHub, perhaps we can help the individual projects maintain their site's static content by simply committing to a gh-pages branch for their project? Since it's just static content which is still hosted and controlled by ASF, but simply placed in a way that GitHub can render it from the mirrors, I don't think there's too many issues of concern, but wasn't sure if anybody's put any thought into it. I know it would certainly be easier for some projects than using the existing CMS system with SVN (especially those otherwise developing exclusively with Git). It might "just work" today, but I haven't tried it. I'd be willing to work with INFRA to help experiment with it, though (especially if we wanted to try out the CNAME feature).
