Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1495:
-----------------------------------------
You also need to consider that the manifoldcf.apache.org site is published via
an svn mirror. This is primitive but it works. There is also an Apache CMS
system that was developed specifically for project websites; it's what Lucene
uses, and seems to work pretty well.
The current manifoldcf.apache.org build process involves the following:
- Compilation of the site into html using Forrest
- Downloading release artifacts and unpacking their documentation in the right
places
- Publishing the site contents, in its entirety, to the svn mirror
The technology you use, therefore, must produce static HTML pages for
publication in a tree structure, and allow relative references to other places
that it does not generate.

> The proposed technology is Jekyll but we have also to decide the website
> template to use.
> [~kamaci] suggested the [Apache CloudStack|https://cloudstack.apache.org/]
> template.
> [~molgun] proposed this approach:
> # Find a modern new static site generator like Jekyll [1]
> # Create a template
> # Start to use it in a specific path like
> [https://manifoldcf.apache.org/*new*]
> # Migrate our Forrest xml's to Markdown (we can automate this somehow)
> # Start to serve our new site on root path
