Thibault Piana commented on THRIFT-4710: ---------------------------------------- I am gonna take the opportunity offerred by this thread to discuss about the website. I think (and this is only my point of view) that the current website is a little outdated. So, couldn't we take advantage of this issue to consider a migration of the website to a public platform (such as github) as well as a graphic and structural redesign ? In fact the design looks a little "old". When compared to similar projects, such as gRPC (https://grpc.io/), it seems that Thrift is 10 years behind. We could therefore start on a brand new site, develop with more advanced web technos than a simple CMS, in order to make something modular, which could be easily improved. It's only an idea, but if you agree with something like that, I would be interested in participating in its development. > Move all ASF CMS website content to GitHub > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: THRIFT-4710 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4710 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Documentation > Components: Documentation, Website > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: James E. King III > Priority: Major > > Recent changes in Apache infrastructure has made it impossible to use the > existing ASF CMS system to manage the Apache Thrift web site. We need to > extract and move the content somewhere else. For reference, see: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17519 > This is a bunch of work nobody was expecting to have to do. > My recommendation is to put the documentation into the "docs/" (or leave it > in "doc/", perhaps, it if works) and use https://readthedocs.org/ to create > the documentation web site. Documentation updates can be pushed into the > repository with {{`[ci skip]`}} or maybe we teach GitHub and/or our Appveyor > and Travis to do nothing on pull requests that only contain updates to > markdown and/or rst files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
