Robot stack exchange #320

Closed kscottz closed 9 months ago

kscottz commented 1 year ago

This is the first step towards having ROS Index point to Robotics Stack Exchange instead of answers.ros.org.

After some cajoling, and enabling cross-site scripting locally with ths Chrome Extension, I was able to quickly test these changes locally.

There remains a fairly complex JS section on the package level pages that is still pulling from ROS Answers. I need to refactor that section of code to pull from Robotics Stack Exchange.. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the code / build / debug loop for ROS Index not be completely onerous. I intend to send a second pull request with these changes later on.

I went and found the Stack Overflow RSS feed that serves XML, plugged it into the Q&A section, and it magically works. It is kinda hard to test, but MoveIt has a sufficient number of tagged items and everything looks okay.

It is worth noting that we should recommend people tag package names with underscores, e.g. moveit_foo for the best results in ROS index.

Closing this in favor of #334 where I manually integrated the changes due to refactoring.
