Create a Jekyll compatible design implementation of the FOSSASIA style and add it to our Knitting site

[mariobehling]

We often need to create a simple mini-site. We want to be able to create a md file with markup and add a Jekyll style. One example is the Knitting lab site. It does not use the FOSSASIA style yet.

Please create a Jekyll implementation of the FOSSASIA design and add it to http://knitting.fossasia.org/

The repository: https://github.com/fossasia/knitting.fossasia.org

Relevant to: https://github.com/fossasia/knitting.fossasia.org/issues/11

Hello I am interested in doing this. Can you guide me.

[ravikp7]

Do you mean a Jekyll theme ?

[aviaryan]

@championshuttler @ravikp7 In this issue, we have to update the knitting.fossasia.org site to follow same design as other FOSSASIA websites. Also the design should properly use Jekyll templates for its implementation and should not be hardcoded in each HTML page.

Examples of FOSSASIA design :- https://github.com/fossasia/fossasia.org https://github.com/fossasia/labs.fossasia.org

@aviaryan and @ravikp7 Please can you give me some time to study about the jekyll theme properly ? I am really interested in this project but i need guidance because i am new to open source and want to contribute

@championshuttler find info about Jekyll here: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/home/. Fossasia needs a theme to get forward it would be awesome if you could create one so it unifies the design all around. These may come handy: https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-and-publish-a-jekyll-theme-gem--cms-27475 https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-jekyll-theme-to-your-github-pages-site/

@mariobehling Can I still try this ? Is the issue still not resolved ?

[abishekvashok]

@zamhaq you are free to do so :)

[haquezameer]

@abishekvashok Is there any timeline before which I need to submit the PR? and should the design be similar to the main FOSSASIA site?

[abishekvashok]

@zamhaq

@abishekvashok Is there any timeline before which I need to submit the PR?

No timelines in open source, you are free to take all the time in the world provided you do it and let us know that you are doing it

should the design be similar to the main FOSSASIA site?

Yes

[haquezameer]

@abishekvashok where do I contact you when I need help, this thread itself?

[abishekvashok]
