@karlht thinks this is really really important.

karlht commented 10 years ago

Specifically, https://openhatch.github.io/ is a 404.

shaunagm commented 10 years ago

Won't we have to create an openhatch.github.io repository to fix this? We totally can, but to my knowledge it's not something we'd do inside the open-source-comes-to-campus repository.

karlht commented 10 years ago

An index page in the gh-pages branch of this repo should be sufficient, I think.

shaunagm commented 10 years ago

Something other than http://openhatch.github.io/open-source-comes-to-campus/?

It is admittedly not a very informative index page.

shaunagm commented 10 years ago

The way github pages work (my apologies if you already know this) is that you can create "project pages" by using the github pages branch, but they user the domain name of the username.github.io. Which can in turn be modified by creating a username.github.io repository. Hence why I think that to get an index page at openhatch.github.io we'd need to make an openhatch.github.io repository.

karlht commented 10 years ago

Ah, yes. This repo wouldn't have control over https://openhatch.github.io/index ... I see what you're getting at, now.

(And I appreciate the exposition on how github pages work.)

shaunagm commented 10 years ago

I think you're right that we should have an index there. And there's no obvious place for an organization-wide issue, so it might as well be filed here. I'll keep this open until I make an openhatch.github.io repository with a basic index page.

karlht commented 10 years ago

Thanks very much for the quick response!

paulproteus commented 10 years ago

Ah hah. So the fix would be in another repo. Intriguing; thanks all.

shaunagm commented 10 years ago

Now I'm second-guessing this fix. Making a whole repo just to have an index page? :/

karlht commented 10 years ago

I'm not wedded to this particular solution, if there are other ways to make the projects discoverable when you don't know their exact URL.

shaunagm commented 9 years ago

Actually, I think it would be useful to have a openhatch.github.io barebones repository, with a README/index that covers all the actual active repositories.
