New erlang.org available for testing

[Lukas Larsson]

Hello!

During the summer we have been working on making it easier to maintain and develop the erlang.org website.

erlang.org is today built using the erlang-web platform[1], which is not actively maintained

anymore and also requires us to have a server running that serves the pages.

Since erlang.org has no dynamic content, we decided it was time to move to generate static html pages instead.

The result is https://beta.erlang.org.

The design and content are roughly the same as the old website. The most notable changes are:

* The blog will be moved
  * https://beta.erlang.org/blog
* New downloads page with all patches
  * https://beta.erlang.org/downloads
  * https://beta.erlang.org/downloads/24
  * https://beta.erlang.org/patches/OTP-24.1
* The documentation has integrated full-text search by algolia[2]
  * https://beta.erlang.org/doc/
  * Try searching for "lists", "erlang error" or "records"
* Updated and "flattened" docs for more versions
  * https://beta.erlang.org/docs/23/
  * https://beta.erlang.org/docs/17/

The new website is built using Erlang + Jekyll + Bootstrap and the code is available here: https://github.com/erlang/erlang-org/tree/beta

We plan to switch the official erlang.org over to the new version during the fall. In the

meantime it would be great if you could check it out and report any problems that you find

either on this mailing list or as issues on https://github.com/erlang/erlang-org.

New search is working cool!

Static site generator is also a good idea. We moved there a long time
ago and have split the marketing part and documentation to different
teams.
