[jira] [Reopened] (LUCENE-9198) Remove news section from TLP website

["Uwe Schindler (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9198?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Uwe Schindler reopened LUCENE-9198:
-----------------------------------

I would like to reopen this:
I just checked the commits when [~romseygeek] did the release and I noticed that he still created the top-level news, although we don't have them anymore on the main web page.

Although this issue removed the news from homepage and replaced them by the two-column layout, the TLP news are still there, so there is still additional work for the release manager to copypaste news.

Actually there is still one reference and it is also created as a page: https://lucene.apache.org/news.html (which is only referred somewhere on the right).

IMHO, we should remove the whole folder: content/main_news.
The news.html on root level may possibly also removed, or we may just change them to load all news from all 3 subprojects and sort them by date? 

Any opinions? I tend to remove the TLP news page completely.

> On the front page [https://lucene.apache.org|https://lucene.apache.org/] we today show a list of TLP news.
> For every release we author one news article for Solr, one news article for LuceneCore, and one news article for TLP site, combining the two.
> In all these years we have never published a news item to TLP that is not a release announcement, except in 2014 when we announced that OpenRelevance sub project closed.
> I thus propose to remove this news section, and replace it with two widgets that automatically display the last 5 news headings from LuceneCore, Solr and PyLucene sub projects.
> If we have an important TLP announcement to make at some point, that can be done right there on the front page, not?
