Over this weekend I have finally started to work on a new Libcloud website.
Website is not finished yet, but I think I have made decent progress and some feedback would be appreciated at this point. Live preview: http://lcv2.dev.tomaz.me/ Source code: https://github.com/Kami/libcloud-website-v2/ Task list: https://github.com/Kami/libcloud-website-v2/issues New website highlights: - New and fully responsive design powered by Bootstrap 3 - More modern and user friendly design and typography - Website is now powered by Jekyll static website / blogging engine - New website now features a blog - Content has been updated Why move away from the Apache CMS to Jekyll? Jekyll is way more powerful and flexible. On top of that it has way bigger user base and plugin ecosystem. Website will still be stored in a version control system so benefits we get from that are preserved. Content I have updated a bunch of existing content, but I'm pretty sure there is still a lot of place for improvements. Feel free to submit pull requests with your changes (typo fixes, grammar fixes, content improvements, other improvements, ...). News / Blog page On the existing website we don't have blog functionality, but we have a static "News" page (http://libcloud.apache.org/news.html) which mostly links to the release announcements on the mailing list. Jekyll makes it very easy to add support for blogging so I have replaced "News" section with a fully featured Blog. I have back-filled this new blog with the old release announcement posts. Those posts are very short and only contain a link to the mailing list thread, but going forward, we will be able to add proper blog posts and release announcements. Feedback wanted As noted above, feedback would be very much appreciated at this point. You can find some existing open tasks / issues on the Github issues page - https://github.com/Kami/libcloud-website-v2/issues. Feel free to post your feedback and submit pull requests with your changes and improvements.
