             Summary: How does the build process work?
                 Key: CB-13338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13338
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: cordova-docs
            Reporter: Jan Piotrowski (Sujan)


Per https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/README.md#building and https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/README.md#developing the build process of the website is handled by `gulp`.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/README.md#installing tells us to install _Ruby_, _python_, _Node.js_, the _dependencies _for both Ruby and Node, and optionally _Make_.

From looking at `www` I know the website is _actually_ a Jekyll website.

This leads to a very confused me and several questions:

# How does the build process with Make work? Is this documented?
# What is python required for?
# What is node.js required for? gulp?
# What does the gulp thing actually do? The README only mentions serve, watch, build - but the gulpfile contains _so_ much more.
# What workflows or processes are "hidden" in the gulpfile that should better be documented?
# What is the difference between PROD and DEV in this build process?
# How does the fetching of external docs work?
# Is there anything about translations in there?
