Our new website is progressing - have a look!

Hello,

as some of you may know, a small but growing team has been working on a completely new website over the past months, and we're making good progress!

Apart from a new and fresh design, that will finally also properly support mobile phones and tablets, we've spent quite some time on the backend system and shared various bits of information with you on this already.

We've decided to go with the Hugo static site generator, storing the content in Markdown files and tracking changes in Git. There is no longer a need to request permission for editing the content or the site structure and localisation can happen in Weblate.

As the website should be for you, our Community, we're eager to hear your feedback on the editing process of the proposed new website and we've decided to provide another testing facility! Master choreographer Guilhem whipped up an infrastructural dance routine, which makes it possible to preview changes to the website online. Please do give it a try and share your questions and feedback with us:
- here on the mailing list
- privately to ilmari.lauhakangas@libreoffice.org
- on the #tdf-infra chat channel https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/IRC#Channels

We'd like to encourage especially the localisers who need unique pages to try things out.

Editing the website comes in three easy steps:

1. Edit the website in Gerrit as in the recorded demonstration: https://www.ilmarilauhakangas.fi/gerrit_website_demo.mkv
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Visit https://newdesign2.libreoffice.org/changes/1234 where 1234 is your Gerrit change number

All kinds of nonsensical changes are welcome - just write the commit message in a way that it is clear you are testing.

Don't hesitate to reach out for any questions you may have!

Hi, I've looked at the video and I want to see if I could add RTL support
for Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, etc. the only thing I need to find is a way to
determine these languages are selected so that the right CSS will be
applied.

Thank you.

Ok, I've added this logic to the html element attributes: lang="{{ .Site.Language.Lang }}" dir="{{ .Site.Language.LanguageDirection | default "ltr" }}"

...as well as commented out direction specifications in the config.toml. Commented out, because the site will not build if the languages are defined, but their content does not exist.

As we are still in the feedback phase, the exact localisation and content structuring strategy has not been decided. I would expect us to use separate directories for localised content as in https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translation-by-content-directory

It occurred to me that one can not click links in videos, so here is the direct link for creating a change:

Here is the main view of the repository, with the readme:

Hmmm, that looks pretty technical to me...

Any chance of doing something nice and easy in WordPress or similar?

Just asking :slight_smile:
