What you say above - to align the design between all of our various sites - is exactly what I had in mind, and, in retrospect, yes, obviously, I should have talked with you first. What you have done with the other sites is great, and having the blog in that same style would be very nice.
I don't wish to hinder your progress in any way, and as you were already thinking in these same directions, I'll just let you do your thing. Thanks so much for your work on these.
Thank you very much Rich.
Let me be more specific about what I have in mind here in case someone is wishing to join/correct/suggest improvements. I also provide here some of the links where you can find the work being done and where it is possible to contribute by merge requests:
- www.centos.org HTML and CSS base design. Here we define the HTML and
CSS that we want to have in all sites. There are a few comments worth reading in https://git.centos.org/centos/centos.org/pull-request/112. This merge request should not be merged yet. It is there to track the progress mostly. I would wait until having all sites redesign ready to apply so to make a consistent switch. Something to plan, maybe as part of CentOS Stream 9 release, to visually reinforce the release itself.
Thank you for clarifying this. I had assumed that it wasn't ready to be merged, but appreciate the confirmation.
Example: https://centos.areguera.net/
- people.centos.org, mirror.centos.org autoindex and 404 page and
httpd stuff in general. This is controlled by https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-httpd and the redesign work is in https://github.com/areguera/ansible-role-httpd/tree/staging
Example: https://centos.areguera.net/not-found-page
Example: https://centos-people.areguera.net/
- lists.centos.org: The mailing list. This is controlled by
https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-mailman and the redesign work is in https://github.com/areguera/ansible-role-mailman/tree/staging
Example: https://centos-lists.areguera.net/
- wiki.centos.org: The wiki. This is controlled by
https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-moin and the redesign work is in https://github.com/areguera/ansible-role-moin/tree/staging
This is my current target now. No example, yet.
We should definitely talk more about this, since there has been talk of moving the Wiki content to something Git-based rather than Wiki-based, which would allow for easier participation in the content editing without having to get access to the Wiki authentication.
I don't know what the timeline is on this, but would hate for you to sink a lot of time into this and it not be used.
- blog.centos.org: The blog. I need to find out where the repo is or
suggest the creation of one in order to track the redesign work.
I don't think that the existing theme is in a repo anywhere, but I could very well be mistaken. I guess Fabian would know.
The site itself is Wordpress, and the theme is "Blue Peace" - https://themesinfo.com/blue-peace-best-free-wordpress-theme-zzt - with some small local modifications.
That's it. I go slow, but I go :)
Again, thank you very much for your consideration. I appreciate it a lot. Also the constant help of Fabian to make all this happen.
Best regards,
