[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2016 Website Redesign

[Juan Carlos Murillo]

Thank you for your answers, James! I will take them into consideration.

I agree, before redesigning each specific website I'll make sure to identify correctly its target audience. I have checked the suggested websites and they could also be good options to redesign.

Regarding the CMS, you are right, probably a Git-integrated static site generator like Hexo (https://hexo.io/)  or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/) could be much more convenient for this case.


Best regards,

Juan Carlos Murillo

A question not asked, for perhaps it is obvious, is who is the intended audience for each web site.

You might ask systems@ for a list of virtual hosts.

Some may benefit from style changes, if consistency of style is critical;

	help.sugarlabs.org
	socialhelp.sugarlabs.org
	developer.sugarlabs.org

There is old information about Sugar on wiki.laptop.org.  If you need an account to remove or redirect on wiki.laptop.org, contact me.

I don't think it matters.

I don't think it matters.

No.  Something with git integration would be helpful so that developers can link Sugar source code changes with changes to web sites.  Otherwise a change might be made in only one place, leading to inconsistency.
