             Summary: Automate process of updating and rendering documentation on Aurora website
                 Key: AURORA-15
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-15
             Project: Aurora
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Dave Lester


As documentation is added to the project at Apache, we've adopted the practice of storing files to the /docs/ folder within the main Aurora repository. However, the minimal docs currently on the website do not dynamically pull from this source.

Ideally, we would automate the process of copying and rendering documentation on the website, so whenever a change is made to the /docs/ folder of the Aurora repository those changes also appear on the website.

For Mesos, we currently have a separate build script that you run prior to making any changes to the website. This means we'll run that script every time the docs are updated, and then someone will commit any changes to subversion. Ideally, a documentation workflow for Aurora would include a post-commit hook for the main Aurora repo and a script that would run at that time.

I think this latter solution should work, as long as there is general agreement that any changes to the website documentation should be derived from the /docs/ source and not made manually -- otherwise we could run into some merge conflicts.

Thoughts?
