Hi folks, I propose that we move our website repo from svn <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mesos/site> to git.
The main motivation for this is to automate the website building process! I know this has been a pain in the past for release managers. Moving to git allows us to leverage ASF Jenkins to auto publish website on a daily / release basis without worrying about credentials. One less thing to worry about while doing releases! I had a long chat with Gavin from ASF infra today and looks like moving to git will be the easiest way to automate this. Of course, a side benefit is that we deal with one version control system (git) and repo instead of two systems and repos. *Implementation details: * We have an option to move to 1) a standalone git repo (say "mesos-site") which will be mirrored on github. 2) just use our "mesos" git repo and publish a "asf-site" branch with website contents (say at 'site/publish' directory) I'm leaning towards 2) because that allows us to deal with single repo instead of two. I already have a local branch for automating the website build. Just need to hook it up to ASF Jenkins. I will also volunteer to update the website building docs as part of this effort. Let me know if you have any objections or questions. If none, I will put the wheels in motion to start the move. Thanks, Vinod
