Proposed Bootstrap-based website for us (ROL-2024)
Hi team, in ROL-2024 I attached a .tar.gz file showing a proposed
Bootstrap-based website to replace our current Roller website. This is
just a starter website, something we can build on over time (in
particular, one thing I'd like to eventually see is a Bootstrap
"carousel" of rotating screenshots, like OpenMeetings has:
http://openmeetings.apache.org/).
Please take a look at the website and let me know if this is good enough
to make live, if not, what changes you would like prior to that
happening. Please distinguish between before-deployment changes (my
main concern here -- right now, I'm just trying to modernize our current
roller.apache.org site, so it only has to be better than that right
now), and changes that anyone can do after the site goes live.
Don't worry about hurting my feelings--the purpose of this website is to
expand Roller's usership many-fold, if you don't think this design will
accomplish it, I want to hear it. :)
Regards,
Glen

Hello Glen,
Nice work :)
I will start looking into it and see how we can improve it more futher
with carasoul included in it. If anyone have suggestion for images for
carasoul or have some images idea with them please share.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav, OK, I'm done on my side: http://roller.apache.org/ I
followed the website architecture used by the Apache Isis team
(http://isis.apache.org/contributors/updating-the-cms-site.html) and
that saved me a lot of time.
Feel free to make website enhancements, possibly looking at other Apache
websites for inspiration (https://projects.apache.org/indexes/quick.html
-- BTW, I think Isis' carousel looks neat:
http://isis.apache.org/index.html). You can svn commit all you want,
that just moves it to the staging website (#4 here:
http://roller.apache.org/getinvolved/edit_website.html), but for
significant changes, please hold off on hitting the
publish-to-production button (#5) until the team has a chance to review
the change on staging and possibly make suggestions.
The way the Apache CMS works is that the markdown files (*.mdtext) under
the content folder are run through a template (line #9 and #10 here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/cmssite/trunk/lib/path.pm?revision=1610818&view=markup),
converting them to HTML files. For most text you'll create an .mdtext
file and run it through the basic.html template (line #10 of the above
link); for advanced stuff you can store an HTML under templates/*.html
and have a dummy/empty .mdtext file run through that .html file,
effectively resulting in the HTML becoming viewable (see line #9 for an
example of a dummy markdown file.)

Glen

Hi Gaurav, I'm going to go ahead with what I have this week (without the
carousel), in the interim, please go ahead with the carousel'ed version
(either [1] or [2] is good) There's two parts to this work: one is
getting us to bootstrap (there's no guarantee just copying the files to
our website folder will cause it to work -- I need to research this, the
current website uses Apache CMS and may be expecting Markdown instead of
HTML files), for that we just need a simple but workable website (what I
have.) Once #1 is done, you're welcome to add/replace with any other
bootstrap pages--carousel and whatever other bells and whistles.
Make sure the screenshots look good. It's better to have nothing than
have something that looks bad. By doing the carousel after the
deployment of the non-carouseled version, this gives us time to have
good screenshots while not forcing us to rush the screenshots just so we
can get on Bootstrap.
I do need you check out the current non-bootstrap website, make a
trivial change to it--add the word "test" to a page maybe, svn commit
it, view the word "test" on staging, publish it to our production
website, view the word "test" on our production website, undo your
trivial change, commit your undo, view it on staging, and publish your
undo. In getting from A to B you need to understand A first (you need
SVN practice). It's all documented here:
http://roller.apache.org/getinvolved/edit_website.html and I'm available
either on the dev@ list of off-line for any questions you have.

Glen

Hello Glen,
Great work, website now looks good. I have searched a bit and found 2
themes if you can consider them [1]
<http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/> [2]
<http://startbootstrap.com/templates/modern-business/index.html> and
have one of these which seems to be more good to you.
Also, the Roller current home page have a lot of content we can add that
also to these pages.
Glen, I can build the roller website on top of any of these two themes,
if it looks good to you and will share with the community.
Also, I am interested in adding some images to the carousel, if you have
any idea of what type of images we can add up there (some pics can be
screenshot of roller UI ).

> Hi team, in ROL-2024 I attached a .tar.gz file showing a proposed
> Bootstrap-based website to replace our current Roller website. This is
> just a starter website, something we can build on over time (in
> particular, one thing I'd like to eventually see is a Bootstrap
> "carousel" of rotating screenshots, like OpenMeetings has:
> http://openmeetings.apache.org/).

> Please take a look at the website and let me know if this is good
> enough to make live, if not, what changes you would like prior to that
> happening. Please distinguish between before-deployment changes (my
> main concern here -- right now, I'm just trying to modernize our
> current roller.apache.org site, so it only has to be better than that
> right now), and changes that anyone can do after the site goes live.
>
> Don't worry about hurting my feelings--the purpose of this website is
> to expand Roller's usership many-fold, if you don't think this design
> will accomplish it, I want to hear it. :)
