Website refresh #922

Closed jhamman closed 2 weeks ago

jhamman commented 9 months ago

The Pangeo website (pangeo.io) is in desperate need of a refresh. Many pages are out of date or reflect a part of pangeo that has moved on to other spaces.

What needs to be updated?

What should be removed?

What needs to be added?

There is obviously a lot to do here. It doesn't have to all be done by one person at once. I know @mrocklin had some ideas for how to structure some of the messaging around Pangeo's cloud documentation. @paigem and @AimeeB also started work on some of the home page messaging (#878). I suggest we use this issue to do a bit of coordination and move forward with some PRs to update the site over the coming weeks.

Thanks for bringing this up @jhamman . For context for others I wrote up a similar doc with thoughts and shared it with a few folks. There's both thoughts on content there, but also thoughts on messaging and tone that I think would be helpful.

Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z-ndaHQ9IQR1lwNTZLsBo3uZQAiLMoTLedt9SvFGRjk/edit?usp=sharing

I'm happy to do some of this work, but I'm not sure how things happen with Pangeo these days. In early days I would just change things. I'm feeling less certain about agency though today.

In addition to a lot of the website's contents being out of date, this repository is also unlicensed and would be difficult to re-license at this point due to the large number of contributors. I would like to propose that we start afresh with a new website and gradually add pages necessary based on the currently relevant information from the new website.

Proposed website start (forked from xarray.dev): https://github.com/maxrjones/pangeo.io Deployed proposed website: https://pangeo-io-git-main-max-jones-projects.vercel.app/ Proposed timeline: September 9 - Max fills out the rest of the meeting / showcase pages September 9 - 18: Solicit feedback on framework, decide whether to move forward with a new website September 18 - October 8: adjust high-level plan for the website content based on steering council meetings, update sponsorship page (if we decide to move forward with the new website) October 8: migrate https://github.com/maxrjones/pangeo.io to pangeo-data github oganization October 8 - October 31: add new pages as neededwith at least one week for review on each page October 31: Deploy at pangeo.io, publish a blog post announcement

This seems great!

My sense is that it's already better than what's deployed today. Personally I'd be in favor of the following timeline:

I often frame these questions by asking "if we had this new version deployed today, would we accept a change that put us at the older version?"

TomNicholas commented 3 weeks ago

Incredible work @maxrjones ! It already looks great.

+1 for moving to a new website.

Also +1 for just deploying it ASAP, I think as soon as visitors can use it to navigate to upcoming meetings / showcases then it's good enough to ship.

I have ideas for content for additional pages, but I agree with Matt that it's already considerably better.

Amazing work here @maxrjones! 🙌

I agree with the comments above...no need to wait months to roll this out.

maxrjones commented 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the feedback! That works for me, I'll transfer it over and work on setting Pangeo up as an open source team on Vercel so we can get free deployments. If anyone knows who owns the Pangeo domain, please reach out so that I can work with them to update the configuration for the old and new repositories sometime this week 🙏

DNS came up here - https://discourse.pangeo.io/t/pangeo-dns-outage-july-4-2024/4324

Looks like it's me, @jhamman, and @TomAugspurger who have DNS access right now. Happy to share access with you too Max or anyone interested in helping administer the site.

abarciauskas-bgse commented 3 weeks ago

Awesome work @maxrjones new site looks great!

eni-awowale commented 3 weeks ago

Great work @maxrjones ! Another +1 for deploying it right away. I think it will be easier to collect feedback once people are actually using the site regularly.

dcherian commented 3 weeks ago

Executing at will! I like it, like it

maxrjones commented 2 weeks ago

Thanks for all the enthusiasm on this! Very grateful to be part of such a friendly community!

I transferred the repository to https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo.io and opened a bunch of issues that capture the other discussion points from this website refresh issue.

Since I labelled most of the issues as help-wanted, I'd like to create a website-maintenance team in the pangeo-data org comprised of people willing relatively promptly review/merge PRs in https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo.io. Please add an 👀 emoji to this comment if you'd like to serve on that team. Thank you!

Thanks for leading this Max!
