I concur with Gavin. I have a strong preference for a more narrow project scope that results in a complete migration in production rather than a more wide project scope that fails to achieve a complete migration in production. The reason for this strong preference is that for efforts that do not reach complete migration in production, the value of the effort approaches zero as time approaches infinity. A complete migration to production of even one component achieves value immediately and is therefore preferable from my perspective. > So my suggestion based on me trying to convert jenkins.io to gatsby a while > ago and realizing its just too big > 1) docs.jenkins.io (versioned, antora) > 2) guides.jenkins.io (versioned, antora, but less likely to update?) > 3) news.jenkins.io (out of scope of gsoc i think) aka blog. hook up a headless > cms like netlifycms (all javascript + github), or maybe even strapi (really > nice headless cms, we could have webhooks that update the repo) > 4) Leave everything else on www.jenkins.io […] > It also makes a clear migration plan.

I have a strong preference for factoring out the docs content into a new Antora site and atomically cutting over the links from the monolithic Awestruct site to the new Antora site, thus achieving complete migration in production. The same process could be later followed for the blog. What remains of the monolithic Awestruct site after the Antora and blog portions have been factored out can then be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but I would rather not include this in the scope of GSoC. The reason for this is that I fear it would introduce additional risk and delay progress on the Antora portion of the effort, which is already significant in scope and risk in and of itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
