new website, docs code freeze

2019-09-18 Thread Aaron Markham
Hi everyone,
The last two PRs [1][2] for the new website and docs have passed CI
(finally). Please do not make changes to /docs or /ci until we get
these approved and merged. Every time there's a merge conflict it has
set us back a day or two while shepherding the PRs through CI again.
Unless there are catastrophic issues discovered in a review, I
recommend that we hold any patches or updates to the PRs to follow-up
PRs.

There are four steps to launch:
1. Once the PRs are approved, the plan is to merge 15885 to delete the
old content first.
2. Then immediately merge 15883 to add in the new CI flows and updates
to the content Thomas and I have already had merged in 15884 [3].
3. I will change the website validation Jenkins pipeline to point to
the new pipeline.
4. I will change the website publishing Jenkins pipeline to point to
its new pipeline as well. Once triggered, the old site will be
replaced with the new one.

Post launch we'll need to update the DNS for beta.mxnet.io to point to
production, and there will likely be some redirect/.htaccess updates
needed next week to assist with any deep linking and 404 issues that
pop up.

Cheers,
Aaron
