Ethical Ads on Pylons Project documentation

[Steve Piercy]

Howdy Everyone,

I'd like to get your feedback—either here in the group, by
personal email, or IRC—on whether the Pylons Project and all
of its projects with documentation built and hosted by Read The
Docs for free should display Ethical Ads. More information
about Ethical Ads is available on the RTD website.

https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advertising/ethical-advertising.html

Currently the Pyramid, Pylons, and PylonsFW Sphinx themes do not
support ads.

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/

Some projects, including WebOb, display ads because they use the
Alabaster Sphinx theme.

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/webob/en/latest/

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

I'm fine with RTD's ethical adds on any Pylons-project RTD docs.

Sure. I like the part about "We won't track you."

Sure.

+1 for ethical ads.  RTD is a good org to support.

To follow up, Ethical Ads will now appear in documentation that
uses pylons-sphinx-themes, has enabled ads, and is hosted by
Read the Docs. Enabling Ethical Ads supports both Read the Docs
and the Python Software Foundation with ad revenue.

To enable Ethical Ads, edit your Sphinx's `conf.py` and insert
this snippet:

# Control display of sidebars
html_sidebars = { '**': [
'localtoc.html',
'ethicalads.html',
'relations.html',
'sourcelink.html',
'searchbox.html',
] }

Details are in the readme:

https://pypi.org/project/pylons-sphinx-themes/

The list of documentation sets that have enabled Ethical Ads include:

http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/
https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/webtest/en/latest/
https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/

By virtue of using the Alabaster theme, some projects already
had enabled it.

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/webob/en/latest/

We've also added Read the Docs to our list of sponsors for
donating their services for free.
