Hosting the RailsMN documents with Pages #1

Rails.MN links directly to Meetup, which is okay but... we also have railsmn.github.io, but it's currently under-utilized.

So, I spent some time putting together a new site. It's all bootstrap & jekyll, should be functional hosted by GitHub Pages, editable via GitHub, plus hackable locally. With the exception of some small tweaks to the installation guide based on Monday night's class, this is the same content as we had scattered all over before, just presented more coherently.

BTW

@derekrockwell's presentation is still there, it's just not top-level content: screen shot 2014-03-12 at 3 04 12 pm

We should links to other presentations, if we can remember what's been presented.

:+1: It's pretty

Pulled it down and noticed a couple graphical issues (just making a note of it for now until I can get a chance to mess w/ it):

Oh, look at that. Looks like there are some odd breakpoints for large viewports. Also: I learned @derekrockwell has a very wide browser window.

I'll get it working.

jaw6 commented 10 years ago

@derekrockwell @momer ... and we're in business.

derekrockwell commented 10 years ago

niiiiice. I _really_ want to get this out this weekend and ready for a premiere on Monday, if time allows.

momer commented 10 years ago

Damn. Great work

jaw6 commented 10 years ago

@derekrockwell I'm at CoCo today, want to work together? Maybe we can get this working before the meetup starts?

derekrockwell commented 10 years ago

I won't be at CoCo till about 5 but I can work at it from here today. So it should just be a matter of:

  1. Merging this branch
  2. Updating DNS to point to the railsmn github pages page

Am I missing anything there?

jaw6 commented 10 years ago

Am I missing anything there?

Not as far as I can tell. :+1:

derekrockwell commented 10 years ago

site is up at railsmn.github.io!

Still need to make the DNS changes and probably update the meetup page and send out a tweet accordingly

derekrockwell commented 10 years ago

DNS should be updated appropriately but looks like some weirdness is still happening as DNS updates propagate...

Though I'm getting a 404 page not found for www.rails.mn when it goes to railsmn.github.io, but I think that may be resolved once Github updates whatever caching is related to the CNAME file... thoughts, @jaw6?

jaw6 commented 10 years ago

@derekrockwell Looks like it's working now, are you still seeing 404s?

derekrockwell commented 10 years ago

nope, things look good now, just had to wait for the DNS/pages to update.

thanks again for doing it! :+1:
