Move the website to Jekyll?
Hi,
as I am wrestling with REEF-1384, I am wondering whether we should move
away from maven-site for our website. I see the following deficiencies
in maven site, but maybe I am missing something:
* No blog. Which makes it hard to share news.
* The Markdown support seems to be different (worse) than elsewhere.
For my personal site[0], I had great success using Jekyll[1], which also
produces a static website. At ApacheCon, I learned that several other
projects also use it. Switching isn't free though:
* Moving the current content over will take work.
* Jekyll becomes a dependency for us.
What do you think?
Markus

No, this thread wasn't exactly greeted with enthusiastic support for
that move. Hence, I don't think we consensus on such a change.

Thank you for answers, Markus.
Then, we are not heading to Jekyll yet. :)
Boris, I think you are the best person to update our homepage since you're
the release manager of 0.15. :)
You can assign REEF-1384 to yourself or close it if it's duplicated.
Thank you all!
Dongjoon.

Agreed. Boris, I think you planned on doing that?

As soon as I figure out how to push changes to the site. The new
`index.md` is already in git :-)

Hi, Markus.
In our homepage, 0.15 is not announced yet in `Download & APIs` section.
We had better update it as soon as possible.
I cannot find some related issue, so I made one, REEF-1416, for this.
It seems to be a little related to your issue REEF-1384.
But, if you don't mind, I can proceed REEF-1416 first.
It's just about one section. Is it okay for you?
By the way, when is the ETA for REEF-1384?
Warmly,
Dongjoon.
