Hello everyone. I have a proposal to address our out of date WordPress website and its infrastructure. Building a dynamically generated site makes maintenance and administration an important task, and keeping everything secure even more so.
Further, making contributions as easy as possible for our community would help with engagement. Of course we need to do that in a managed way to ensure that we get excellent, and relevant content on our website. My proposal is to reimplement kubunbtu.org using the Hugo static site generator. This would enable content of the site to be managed via KDE's GitLab instance, or Launchpad. All content is stored as Markdown .MD files, with all images stored in an /images directory and all the sources stored in Git, or Bzr respectively. Content updates then become simple merge requests, and if we chose KDE's GitLab instance then updates can even be made directly within GitLab using the WebIDE. The website would be built by the Hugo generator and deployed to production, based upon merge triggers on the Master branch, perhaps hooked into our CI systems as a Jenkins build job. I'd probably need some support and input in regard to UX and Graphic design, but the technical stuff I can take care of. Let me know your thoughts ? Do you like this idea ? Best Wishes Rick Timmis Kubuntu Council.
