             Summary: Can an Antora UI project for an Apache project site be hosted at Apache?
                 Key: LEGAL-530
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-530
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: David Jencks


Several Apache projects are using the Antora ([https://antora.org]) site generator. One component needed to set up an Antora based site is a "ui bundle" which contains the resources that determine the appearance and layout of the site. It's possible to develop a UI bundle from scratch, but I'm not aware of any non-commercial Antora users that have done this.

 

Normally a project will customize the "Antora default UI" [[Antora / Antora Default UI · GitLab|https://gitlab.com/antora/antora-ui-default]]. There are several approaches, but the most common is to clone this repo or copy the contents. It's possible but non-standard to have a customization project only include the new/modified files.  It's not practical to make a customized UI bundle without modifying some of the source files (rather than completely replacing them).

 

An Antora UI bundle is not normally a released project artifact: it just supplies the appearance for the projects site.  

 

The Antora default UI is MPL2.0 licensed.

 

Can an Antora UI bundle project customizing the Antora default UI be in an Apache git repository?

 

If not, can an Apache project use such an Antora UI bundle project hosted at GitHub or GitLab, maintained presumably by (at least) some project members (and possibly others)?

If such an external UI project included branding content such as the project name and icon and the apache feather would that raise branding concerns? (It is probably possible to supply such resources in another way, but that would be considerably less convenient)

 

 Some examples of what is done currently at Apache:
