Hi I'd like to work on this.

owocki commented 6 years ago

got a portfolio you can show off?

@mbeacom is this a design ticket or a coding ticket?

hrithik-jha commented 6 years ago

If this is a coding ticket, then I can make a front end on based on index.html

mbeacom commented 6 years ago

My original intent here was to replicate the index.html with the exception of dynamic navbar items and data. Aligning with the existing design should be fine.

So basically you want to save the HTML, pull all the css content into the HTML and create a 1-page static page for maintenance purposes - or do you want a "real" static page generator like django-distill? https://www.staticgen.com/django-distill

@owocki Since, this hasn't been assigned to anyone. I would like to work on this. Can you tell exactly what should be mentioned in this static page.

kuhnchris commented 5 years ago

@danlipert since this seems to (also) be a topic regarding fail-over, infrastructure, etc. - is this still something that does happen? or do we upgrade instances one after another so this is basically moot?

Thanks!

danlipert commented 5 years ago

Yeah IMO its moot - the way we do deploys right now there shouldn't ever be a moment where the load balancer is completely dead
