GeoPandas blog #6

Open martinfleis opened 3 years ago

martinfleis commented 3 years ago

We have discussed that it may be nice to have a dedicated blog for geopandas following the pandas model (https://pandas.pydata.org/community/blog/). That can also work as an aggregation of posts from our personal blogs.

Blocker - we need an admin access to the geopandas.org domain, which is currently managed by @kjordahl. @jorisvandenbossche is trying to get in touch with him.

Do we also want to have blogs from "GeoPandas the project"? (instead of only gathering blog post from individuals in our community) Probably yes? (although we never did that up to now)

The pandas blog that gathers different sources is not done in sphinx, but on the markdown-based website (https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/62d1f5c0fb16b6990aceabb8491d61de63cd042a/web/pandas_web.py#L71-L141)

Just for some other references:

Dask's blog has a separate repo using jekyll: https://github.com/dask/dask-blog Numpy has a "news" section on their main website: https://numpy.org/news/
Matplotlib: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotblog, https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotblog Jupyter uses Medium: https://blog.jupyter.org/

I think that it may be nice to have an option for that, similarly to what pandas does.

I had some success using ablog extension for sphinx if we want to avoid Jekyll (I'd pretty much like to avoid it). See https://github.com/urbangrammarai/urbangrammarai.github.io for a reference.
