Road to Launch #59

Closed doomspork closed 2 years ago

doomspork commented 3 years ago

I'm going to use this issue to outline what remains to get this iteration of Elixir School live 🚀

Must Have

  1. Update Lessons menu to be more responsive. cc @burden
  2. ~Move gettext into external repo to keep translation materials together. Note: The downside here is keeping them updated. I will tackle this.~
  3. ~Automated deploys for changes to both repositories #20~
  4. Announcement blog post

Nice to Have

  1. Add code examples to homepage and Why Elixir? pages #32
  2. ~Blog RSS feed. We have this currently so it would be a loss of functionality for a short time. I could see this being move to Must Have. #54~
  3. ~Sitemap.xml #62~
  4. Expand on the Why Elixir and homepage copy
  5. Document project

@doomspork I am taking a stab at the first item on the must have list right now as a part of #9 . If you'd rather @burden (avoiding re-notifying them) tackle it, I can help with something else on this list!

doomspork commented 3 years ago

@kinson have at it! I think Mike is pretty swamped with work lately so I'm not sure what his availability is.

@gemantzu as a translator what are your thoughts on 2:

Move gettext into external repo to keep translation materials together. Note: The downside here is keeping them updated. I will tackle this.

Right now the gettext for Phoenix is in this repo and includes some content that needs translation. Everything else lives in the original repository.

gemantzu commented 3 years ago

I would say that if we won't have them inside the elixirschool lessons repo, don't move them, a third repo will overcomplicate things for translators. And would there be any benefit from that? when will you know when to force an update in the application if a gettext translation has changed? is there a way to automate this as well?

doomspork commented 3 years ago

I'm suggesting moving them from https://github.com/elixirschool/school_house into https://github.com/elixirschool/elixirschool, alongside the lessons/posts.

I'm of the mind to leave this as is for now and if it becomes a hurdle for translators we can move them.

Merges of new content to elixirschool/elixirschool will now trigger a deploy here. There's an issue with the deploy (separate of that) that I need to resolve.

@kinson I just realized we're both in Denver 🎉 We should grab coffee one day, my treat 😁

@doomspork great idea! I am not sure what your preferred method of chat is, but feel free to send me an email at swilkinsonhunter@gmail.com and we can find a time & place that works!

Email sent 🚀

I felt super motivated this weekend so I've been working my way through the list. I've got a PR open for sitemap and rss mix tasks #64 if someone wants to take a peek. There's also #60 which I updated to reply on a Makefile instead of mix task so it was easier to use in Docker pre-compile.

I've started on the blog post for this announcement 👍
