[Infrastructure] New cabforum.org website

[Paul van Brouwershaven]

Dear Chairs, Vice chairs and Infrastructure Committee,

As discussed during some infrastructure calls and the last forum meeting I have been working on a new, more automated, website:

https://cabforum.github.io/cabforum.org/

The content in this website is written in Markdown and some information is automatically pulled based on tags from other pages, directly from the Member Tools, GitHub content, issues and pull requests, etc.

This includes the automatic publication and update of requirements/guidelines, charters, working group members, etc.

Also ballots in draft, in discussion or IPR or those that have recently passed can be automatically shown based on the labels and status of GitHub pull requests. We do need to agree on the usage of some labels and probably create a pull request template, but this can be done after the new website is live.

The latest releases is based on GitHub releases (only the S/MIME working group is using that currently). I have also been working on an update to the GitHub actions that build our guidelines to improve our release management, also this can be finished after the new website is live.

Instructions

I have created a website chapter on the wiki with some instructions and screenshots on how you can add pages, upload files, etc.:

https://wiki.cabforum.org/books/forum/chapter/website

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this new website and let me know if the instructions are sufficient and clear.

I'm adding all new pages from the old website manually, but I would rather like to spend my time on further improvements and would there like to get your feedback and if there is anything that holds us back from switching to this new website.

Please let me know if you see any issues and if it's ok for you to switch or not!

Paul

If everyone is ok with the documentation and new website I suggest to switch to the new website to avoid any further divergence.

Hi,

I'll take a look at the instructions later today, but as a general matter, I think it is fine to switch the website over sooner rather than later.

Hi Paul,

 

The site looks great to me. Thanks for the great work!

 

 

Bruce.

I noticed there may be some YouTube videos on using Hugo with GitHub that might be helpful, too.

If I see a good one, I'll let you know.
