Initial draft of the new ScalaFX website

[Jarek Sacha]

I tried to sketch how a new ScalaFX website could look like. You can see it at
http://scalafx.github.io/
Source code is at
https://github.com/scalafx/scalafx.github.io

The site is build using Jekyll and is currently using design of the Jekyll website.

The site works correctly when I serve it locally, but after posting to GitHub "Documentation" and "News" links give 404. Help appreciated to figure out what is going wrong.

Let me know what you think. Alternative ideas? Comments? Help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Jarek

Jarek,

There's a GitHub Pages plugin for sbt (see https://github.com/sbt/sbt-ghpages) which also uses the sbt-site plugin. I think you can utilize those to publish Scaladoc to GitHub. (See the information on that in the https://github.com/sbt/sbt-unidoc plugin documentation for an example.)

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Mike

Jarek,Mike,

Awesome... i can suggest JBake.org  Jekyll for jvm :)   its not yet powerful like jekyll yet but it satisfy all basic needs. Community is very active. you also have maven build for it, embedded server, inline compiling of changes, ftl, asciidoc and more.

Color pattern i feel we need to have some scalaish color pattern and with FX obviously :) 

Kudos to the idea and the step taken !!!

Thank you and regards,

Mike, Can you set it up in ScalaFX build.sbt? We need to publish it to scalafx.github.io, rather than scalafx ghpages (do we?).

Thanks,

Raj, I assumed initially that Jekyll will easier to use since you do not
have to build the website just commit source code of the website and
GitHub does the rest. This avoids issues with inconsistencies if
different people build and push content. Though I am not that hung up on
Jekyll, if there is a better tool and will help people to easily
contribute content we should consider. Maybe we could somehow set a
service (similar to GitHub Jekyll) that will build the website when
changes are committed to the repo. That will help with consistency. Can
JBake be setup to automatically build for GitHub pages?

That can be done with CSS, we just need somebody to design the color
scheme nicely. Do you have something in mind?

Jarek, I'll have a look into this shortly. I've raised an issue (https://github.com/scalafx/scalafx/issues/138) to track this.
