| Re: [modeling-pmc] Migration of /cvsroot/org.eclipse www/modeling to /gitroot/www.eclipse.org |
|
I'm back. I spent some of my day today looking through the modeling website. For starters, I migrated the whole thing to Git and it seems to work on my local workstation. I don't foresee any difficult problems with this migration. My preference is to effect this migration before the deadline and move from there. If we do run into big challenges with a website Git migration, we can talk about leniency. To be clear, however, we're very serious about the December 21/2012 deadline. I did noticed that there is a lot of content in the project-specific directories that may be better suited elsewhere. There are, for example, some articles that we might consider moving to /articles. But that is something that we can address over time. As a move-forward strategy, I'd like consider moving/adapting some of the Modeling project-specific behaviour to the more general project summary pages [1] and the upcoming replacement [2]. I think that this will help us with some of the traditional access management problems that we've had with modeling projects as the configuration of these pages will be almost entirely a content-management problem and not a coding problem. I'm not targeting a solution for representing downloads/builds in the short term, but do intend to focus on that in the new year. The existing site can limp along until then. Modeling projects that (requ|des)ire a custom website can still have one, but I recommend moving that website to the web root (e.g. /Xtext). Does this make any sense?
