[Gluster-users] Gluster.org site relaunch

[Eco Willson]

Rodrigo,

I am writing more detailed documentation (and my apologies for not having it ready at launch) for how to get involved but the high level overview will be:

For documentation:
1) Grab the docs project
2) Make your changes
3) Commit in git

For making changes directly to the site (e.g. to add navigation for newly added pages, to change existing navigation, add media etc)
1) Request access to modify the gluster-site repo
2) Grab the site repo
3) Make changes
4) Commit in git

For clarity, it is still entirely possible to edit the wiki now, the drawback being that at some point it will need to be ported from the wiki into the new site (this is fairly painless via pandoc and some quick editing, which i will include in the documentation).

There is no link on the new site to the wiki since the intent is to make that legacy.  As for the howto section, that section apparently was missed, I can add a placeholder link to the old wiki in the meantime until we convert those docs.

And if wiki is consider legacy....what is the new way for community to
get involved? I am not talking about changes in code...

Thanks!

>> Just a quick note to let everyone know that we switched over to the new Gluster.org site earlier this evening, please feel free to take a look for yourselves at www.gluster.org.  In addition to the updated graphics and layout, we are now using the Middleman site generator to allow the site to be statically generated.  Some of the new changes you will notice are a spotlight section on the front page.  New navigation is in place as well.  The look and layout have also changed.  We are still maintaining a legacy version of the site so any old bookmarks you have should work just fine.
