The existing live agstack.org website hasn't been updated in quite a while. This is a problem. It makes the project look dead, which it isn't.

Thankfully, Mikela started a new jekyll site here based on the existing live WordPress site. We'll be able to build on that to develop a new site that the community can drive on its own by way of the Github repo.

Audiences in order of expected traffic

  • Merely curious
  • Potential members
  • Potential contributors
  • Current contributors
  • Current members

Initial goals for this work

  • Move control of website out of Linux Foundation & into community, removing one step that may be preventing keeping the site up to date
  • Make it clear what AgStack does & why
  • Make it easy to find membership information
  • Make it easy to find contribution/community information
  • Make it easy to find governance information

That’s more than enough for this pass on the site. Later the community can iterate on the site as needed.

Task list

  • Fix footer
  • Fill out project pages (already contain all the info we have, really)
  • Get projects page working
  • Confirm contact form works
  • Add content to index.markdown
  • Change index hero image
  • Add members to Membership page (requires Update membership list #62 )
  • Fill in Community page
  • Fill in Governance page
  • Fill in Contribute page
  • Update About page

The existing jekyll website layout:

agstack-jekyll-original-layout (1)

The new layout I'll be putting together:

new-agstack-website drawio

I've run it past our web designer and he gave the layout a 👍 .

Move pages to archive

Move the existing pages to an archive for now. Can remove later if needed.

Ignored the archive directory in the jekyll build.

Bare bones so far. Placeholders that need content.

Rename index.html -> index.md

So it can pick up a layout more easily.

Dunno whether it's trying, but may as well make sure.

Add AgStack to copyright statement in footer.

May need to change this to LF, but at least it's in a config var now so that'll be easy.

Add pages to the navbar

It looks bad, but that's fixable with theming.
