Jekyll or Middleman. Thanks @techguydiy!

superscott commented 9 years ago

Since I personally don't enjoy working with either of those, I would say check out this video about Pelican.

They are pretty similar, the biggest difference is ruby vs python. I am still new to this org, so please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. To this point it seems like most of the code has been ruby, so I feel like a ruby platform would make sense to continue down. Plus it seems like there is a much lower barrier for entry into Jekyll, no need for a virtual environments...if you have ruby installed and a browser, you can pretty much roll.

Add to the fact the github allows for free hosting of Jekyll sites, I feel like this tools will be able to have a quick impact on someone new to learning programming.

With all that being said, it seems like all of these repos are learning opportunities for veterans...having more than one way of doing things wouldn't hurt anything.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, Jason

Jekyll + GitHub page is gold. We want to encourage our vets chances at coding and contributing with different languages and platforms. Agree we could incorporate within the current rails app, but separate might be nice.

@techguydiy @superscott ETA?

davidmolina commented 9 years ago

Should we have a blog and news section for press releases, or just blog? both?

davidmolina commented 9 years ago

Will be attacking this, this week. Now that we're donation capable and SSL-secured.

I can help with this. I'll make a branch with Jekyll and get started. No experience with Jekyll but heard it was good and fairly easy to use.
