Have all the minutes rendered in the volunteer docs

To make them visible

• Without duplicating
• Automatically updated
• git submodules maybe

I really like this idea. As an extension, create minutes directly on page and have them automatically upload to GH?

[trickeydan]

@antonnikitin97 more likely to be the other way around, we want to keep the minutes repository separate from the volunteering docs.

Reasoning behind this is that it gives us a nicely rendered version and everything is all in the same place. We would just have a link to the repo for the minutes otherwise and I think this is nicer.

I think it is possible to do this using the minutes as a submodule with a webhook on the minutes submodule to Netlify that updates it. @RealOrangeOne, is that possible with Netlify?

[RealOrangeOne]

Automatically updated submodules aren't possible, as they reference a commit rather than a branch. I remember this being discussed a while ago, and we concluded it's not worth the effort. Linking to the repo will be more than suitable for this kind of linking of content, and means it's not going to get out of date, and we don't have to re-deploy the website every time we add new meeting minutes

[trickeydan]

I've just been poking through Netlify's docs. Would it be possible to proxy through to the minutes? e.g /minutes/* https://sourcebots-minutes.netlify.com/:splat 200

If we wrote a site around the minutes, then yes. But again that's a lot of effort and complication for no gain. Linking to the repo is far nicer!

I think this may be more effort than it's worth.
