New design sahar #8

Closed SaharMehrpour closed 4 years ago

SaharMehrpour commented 4 years ago

I implemented some pages. The style needs to be improved a lot! The primary goal of this PR is to discuss the pages and their contents. I tried to follow David's guidelines as much as possible. I removed the About page as I assumed it is redundant (?). We can add a footer with all the links for GitHub and the Lab location, etc.

The design looks good! Also, thanks for the readme. My question is, it seems most of the work is done inside doc_src, but why we still have a lot of files inside doc? For example, we have docs_src/_layouts/member.html and docs/people/index.html . These files are duplicate, right?

SaharMehrpour commented 4 years ago

docs files are auto-generated from docs_src. Basically, we can ignore the docs folder and its contents.

David wrote a script that builds the website (docs folder which is the source for GitHub pages) automatically (after each commit to the master I think).

David explained in Slack that in normal Jekyll projects, there is no need in having this script and generally having a docs folder. But here we are using some libraries that require custom build scripts.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I guess then if that generated automatically, we do not need to keep it in master. The script can generate the file and push it to another bransh (e.g., gh-pages and make GitHub depoly that bransh). This will master less clutter. I guess @luminaxster needs to tell us if that is a possible solution.
