Hi Steven, Excited by your interest in this! A Jira was created to migrate the NiFi website to ASF git build/deploy [1]. I’ve been meaning to work on it but haven’t had the cycles.
In my research on static-site generators, Hugo [2] came up as a very strong candidate especially due to its speed. There are 10 Apache websites that currently use Hugo [3]. Apache Jena is one of them and that team documented their migration steps on their wiki [4]. Perhaps you could do some research and share your findings. If we can get a working version of the current NiFi website in a chosen generator, we can get a Discuss thread going in the community similar to what Apache Jena did [5]. I would love to help with the migration as well as a refresh of the site! -Drew [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6848 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6848> [2] https://gohugo.io/ <https://gohugo.io/> [3] https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Ahugo+org%3Aapache&type=Repositories <https://github.com/search?q=topic:hugo+org:apache&type=Repositories> [4] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/How+Apache+Jena+migrated+from+the+CMS <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/How+Apache+Jena+migrated+from+the+CMS> [5] https://lists.apache.org/thread/tt4mm3phpkjxf7kc5hp3t006sob7ksqr <https://lists.apache.org/thread/tt4mm3phpkjxf7kc5hp3t006sob7ksqr> > On Mar 9, 2022, at 1:59 PM, David Handermann <exceptionfact...@apache.org> > wrote: > > Hi Steven, > > Thanks for your interest!
