[19:08:52] <mgedmin> what's the status for the new buildout.org?

[19:23:39] <aclark> mgedmin: ask J1m

[19:24:02] <J1m> aclark, that's mean

[19:25:16] <aclark> mgedmin: ask me :-)

[19:25:26] <aclark> mgedmin: what do you want the status to be? :-)

[19:25:41] <J1m> Ok, well, since we're talking about it :)

[19:26:19] <J1m> so, does the html get regenerated when there's a change?

[19:26:47] <aclark> J1m: with google pages, no. it's all static (if that's what you were asking about)

[19:26:56] <J1m> I was under the impression that you'd checked in the generated html, but I don't see that.

[19:27:00] <J1m> google pages?

[19:27:06] <aclark> errr, github pages i mean

[19:27:29] <J1m> I'm confused

[19:27:34] <aclark> i think we tried to recreate the status quo on github pages

[19:27:37] <J1m> where are the static pages?

[19:28:20] <aclark> J1m: sorry, what i mean to say is that we experimented with hosting buildout.org on GitHub via their pages service

[19:28:37] <J1m> ah, I thought you had it working?

[19:28:50] <J1m> I mean:

[19:28:52] <J1m> ah, I thought you had it working

[19:28:54] <J1m> :)

[19:28:54] <aclark> but then gocept or whoever it was fixed their setup so we are back to the status quo

[19:28:59] <aclark> we never made the switch

[19:29:09] <J1m> Do we want to?

[19:29:20] <J1m> I'm not clear where we are

[19:29:35] <aclark> probaby, i mean i think there is some desire for active members (e.g. people talking in this channel) to be able to updated buildout.org

[19:29:44] <J1m> If we have to manually check in or upload static pages, this doesn't sound like a win.

[19:30:01] <aclark> but i had some concerns about using github pages, mainly because i don't want to break anything you may be doing to serve buildout files from buildout.org

[19:30:03] <J1m> But update it by checking in html?

[19:30:05] <aclark> heh

[19:30:11] <aclark> right, or sphinx

[19:30:14] <aclark> make sphinx ; git push

[19:31:08] <J1m> so here are my thoughts:

[19:31:55] <J1m> - I'm OK with what you just said if it's pretty well worked out, including documented. :)

[19:32:24] <J1m> - The existing mechanism works OK for svn contributors, except when it doesn't.

[19:32:40] <aclark> k, it could be that we just move the status quo to github pages where we can edit it (i think it's sphinx generated)

[19:33:38] <J1m> - what github giveth, the sometimes taketh away (I'm still annoyed about downloads going away)

[19:34:05] <J1m> Dang, I gotta go to a meeting.

[19:34:09] <aclark> That is annoying

[19:34:47] <J1m> To move to GH, someone needs to write up a how-to for how we update the docs that involves updating sphinx sources, building and pushing.

[19:34:58] <J1m> sorry, gotta go

[19:35:16] <aclark> k i'll write that, np

[20:36:02] <J1m> aclark, thanks

[20:47:13] <mgedmin> aclark, have you considered readthedocs?

[20:47:34] <mgedmin> there would be no need to commit build results before pushing

[20:48:02] <mgedmin> they have github integration, so just push and the docs are updated

[20:48:21] <J1m> sounds nice

[20:48:21] <mgedmin> and you can use a CNAME

[20:48:28] <mgedmin> http://read-the-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features.html

[20:49:03] <mgedmin> ooh, an "edit on github" link in the sidebar

[20:49:13] <mgedmin> awesome for submitting doc improvements or typo fixes

[20:50:00] <aclark> mgedmin: sure, RTD is very nice

[20:50:21] <aclark> mgedmin: i don't have a preference really

[20:50:41] <aclark> although, if we are using sphinx that probably leans me more toward RTD

[20:51:03] <aclark> are the current docs checked in somewhere does anyone know? IIRC they are

[20:52:13] <aclark> i must know where the source is because i imported it…

[20:52:59] <J1m> The original source is in svn.zope.org

[20:53:07] <J1m> are you going to reconvert it?

[20:53:21] <J1m> Not much has changed since you did.

[20:53:58] <J1m> I vote for RTD

[20:54:31] <aclark> k

[23:07:23] <aclark> i really wish i could remember what i did before re: hosting docs… oh well

[23:50:38] <aclark> Gah, nothing is ever easy…
