initial site with basic info:

Create 'trunk', 'branches' and 'tags' folder at SVN location:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/optiq/

Explode this attached file (optiq-site.tar.gz) and check-in to:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/optiq/site/trunk

Can't proceed on this until INFRA-8418 is fixed an we've changed site name calcite.incubator.apache.org and switched from CMS to svnpubsub.

Watching INFRA-8418 and
Accommodating these changes in my local, as well.

Hi Julian, Julian Hyde

Now, that INFRA-8414 is resolved, it is (now) time to build a proper website.

1.
markdown with and without CMS.

eg no CMS, http://phoenix.apache.org/
eg CMS, http://sentry.incubator.apache.org/

2.
twiki along with maven-fluido
eg, http://falcon.incubator.apache.org/index.html
It is apache website but modern look and feel with modern features (search, flash, etc...)

What do you say, we use for our calcite, new site ?

Thanks

I like that idea. I have used maven to generate a site in the past (see http://www.hydromatic.net/calcite/) and the skin looks more modern.

The minimum requirement is that we have the current content (what is at http://calcite.incubator.apache.org, or what is in https://github.com/apache/incubator-calcite/blob/master/README.md, which is the same content, near enough).

If you can write a site-generator that produces that, that would be awesome. Then I will check in and post the new site, and we can iterate.

Hi Julian, Julian Hyde

The attachment 'calcite.new.site.tgz' is the new website structure.
Go to SVN location:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/calcite/

Explode:
tar -xzf calcite.new.site.tgz

Run:
<calcite $> mvn site

This produces the 'site' folder,
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/calcite/site

Check-in SVN:
'site' folder is needed but not the generated content.

Setup eclipse:
<calcite $> mvn eclipse:eclipse

From eclipse:
File -> Import -> Existing Projects into workspace

Editing contents and Verifying from within eclipse:
Setup Server and publish, to see your changes.
http://localhost:8080/calcite/

note: Setup Server: Many ways, HTTP Server, Apache Tomcat, etc...

Server Setup in eclipse:
Server view -> New -> Server -> Apache -> Tomcat 8 -> next -> Tomcat installation directory -> 'calcite-website-general' -> add -> finish.

Double click on the server you just added in the 'server' view.
Overview tab will be open.
Click the next tab i.e. 'Modules'.
Click on Add External Web Modules.
Document base : <calcite $>/site which is 'calcite/site'.
Path: /calcite (or you can leave it default '/')
OK
Start server.
Open browser and goto http://localhost:8080/calcite
Hola !

Working on this. Blocked by INFRA-8516.

Taking a different approach. I started with an empty Jekyll web site (inspired by http://orc.apache.org/) and now have the old content moved over in to the new organization.

I checked in a work-in-progress https://github.com/julianhyde/incubator-calcite/tree/355-site and deployed the results (via svnpubsub and http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/calcite/site/, as before) to http://calcite.incubator.apache.org/.

Looks pretty good, IMHO.

Fixed in http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-calcite/commit/5c049bc8.

The new web site is already deployed at http://calcite.incubator.apache.org/, in time for the 1.3 release announcement.

Resolved in release 1.4.0-incubating (2015-08-23)
