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

["Jan Høydahl (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9198?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17065815#comment-17065815 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on LUCENE-9198:
-------------------------------------

See my comment and screenshot from February 2nd:
{quote}Instead, the frontpage has no TLP news section at all unless you tag one or more TLP news file with the property frontpage: true on top of the Markdown file for the news story.
{quote}
So my thinking is that we will NOT keep adding a news item for every release to the TLP news. But there may still be cases for where we DO want to add a TLP news item, such as if e.g. we deprecate a sub project, add a new sub project, if we move the code repo etc. In those cases we can add a TLP news and tag it with "frontpage" if it shold show up in front page in addition to the /news.html. There is conditional logic now on the front page to show items only if they are tagged as frontpage=true.

I also thought that keeping the /news.html would keep old URL links working, but it won't since old news links would link to front page with an anchor, while they all now live under /news.html (with the same anchor).

However given how infrequent those posts are, I will not block you from completely removing TLP news if you feel strongly about it!

> 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?
