That is uber cool! 😎

Pressing "Edit page" finds the correct document on GitHub. Impressive 👏

I edited the "About" page and created a PR in a matter of seconds.

What we need next is the Github action to automagically publish this change.

https://github.com/eclipse/birt-website/pull/1

Cheers,

Wim

Betreff: Re: [birt-dev] Website

 

Editing pages with Docusaurus sounds like a complicated workflow. Let me know when we can look at a prototype. Alternatively, we just edit the MD documents directly.

 

Regarding the extra repo. I think we should just push the static content to the gh-pages branch. Then after accepting the PR, we can sync the gh-pages branch with the eclipse website.

 

We must make sure that search engines will not index the "github.io" content.

 

Workflow:

 

1. People make PR

2. Github action runs and publishes to gh-pages brancg

3. PR is approved, main branch is updated

4. Static content pushed to Eclipse website

Hi Wim,

 

Yes I confirm.

 

For the moment I implemented following possibilities:

 

The web-server which hosts the website contains the static web pages as wells as the corresponding md.files which are either located in git/github or in a distinct directory on the website. Clicking on the “Edit this page” link on a web page calls a md editor. If php is activate on the website you can edit the md.file and submit it either to git/gihub or back to is directory from where it was loaded. If there is no php available the md.file can be locally downloaded, edited and from there pushed to git/github again. Github has two roles it’s a repo and a webserver.

 

That’s what I tried to show in the graphic below:

 

In short: local development with git. If there are more than one person working on the website the md-files are to be merged and versioned with github. The deployment and life-test is don on a staged website. If everything is ok the result is deployed to the life website.

 

I hope that my explanation was understandable. Don’t hesitate to ask any question.

 

Best

Christophe
