Hello all,

I can get in touch with Ben if someone would like to send me his contact information.

A quick recap, so we're all on the same page:
- drupal site being shut down on March 31
- migration to static site using Hugo (http://gohugo.io) and a redesign proposed
-- template based on Zurb Foundation 6
-- current URLs taken into account & can generate redirects
- requires webhosting, which pixls.us can provide, but pixls.us members would like to use KDE/digikam's current hosting if possible
-- static site requires only a webserver such as apache and rsync over SSH access to the webroot for digikam.org
- site maintained in git; authorization determined by hosting platform, e.g. github, gitlab,
- continuous integration like TraviCI, can be used to build and deploy the site when a commit is pushed to master
- current admin should back up the drupal database for posterity
- current pages (but not page history) can be migrated

Pat was kind enough to write a script to scrape all the news articles from digikam.org, which composed the bulk of content to be migrated, and format the results with the proper metadata for hugo. I set up the project scaffolding and migrated some of the non-news pages (there are pages that still need to be migrated).

You can see the content we've migrated so far here: https://github.com/pixlsus/digikam_website

There probably isn't much more content to migrate. I'll follow up with some questions about the content and migrate the remaining necessary pages.

You can run hugo locally to see the progress:
$ wget https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases/download/v0.19/hugo_0.19_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf hugo_0.19_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
$ git clone https://github.com/pixlsus/digikam_website
$ cd digikam_website/themes
$ git clone https://github.com/tummychow/lanyon-hugo
$ cd ..
$ ./path/to/hugo serve --theme=lanyon-hugo

I can't say we'll have a 100% finished & beautiful website by March 31, but I believe we can be pretty close to finished & very functional by that date.

Best,
Mica

Hi all,

This is the response from Ben by private mail :

Hi Gilles,

Given the amount of work which we've put in thus far and the time
constraints Sysadmin is under in getting other things done, I think
it's best if they contact us with the details they require. I'd
rather
not read a long mailing list thread.

At this stage, i'll be shutting down the Drupal 6 instance on March
31
as we need to protect the security of KDE Infrastructure as a first
priority. This migration has effectively been ready to go (theme
aside) since early February, with the only reason for the delay
being
your requirement a theme be customised for Digikam and nobody being
able to do it.

Regards,
Ben

//
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So it become urgent to switch to a new web site. "Static" proposal
from pixls.us [1] sound like the best solution.

Comments are welcome. Please be constructive.

Thanks in advance

The intention here is to provide a new, modern website that is
secure and
maintainable.

Let me address a couple of possible questions up front:

1. The existing site content can be ported over to a new site.
This
includes previous posts in news/blogs and all of the more static
pages as
they exist right now.

The only thing we may have a problem with would be the comment
system used
by Drupal. In this case, old comments are likely not going to get
brought
over as actual _comments_. We can probably bring them over as
plain content
that gets appended to existing news/blog items.

2. I analyzed the existing site quickly, and noticed that as far
as content
pages go, we were looking (roughly) at:

About
Overview
Features
Awards & Reviews
Related Projects & links
Screenshots
Testimonials
News *
Release Plan
Changelog
Events
Developers Blogs *
Download
digiKam Recipes Book
Documentation
Wiki
FAQ
Support
Donation & Sponsor
Splash-screens
Contribute
Contact

Items marked with (*) are the most likely candidates for more
frequently
published content. The rest of the pages are probably fairly
consistent and
don't change all that often (every release maybe?).

3. Contributing to the site is easy, just write your content in a
plain-text
markdown file.

I assume that you don't want to let everyone publish material to
your
website? No matter what the system (CMS/Static/Whatever), you
likely want a
check step in the publishing process. In the case of a static
site, it's
handled by commit access to the repo. If someone w/o access wants
to
publish something, send the plain-text file to someone with commit
access.

At GIMP, we can accept patches, or someone can just email the
plain-text
files (+ assets) and one of us with commit access manages the
rest.

4. Comments can be handled the same way we are currently doing it
on
pixls.us [1], that is - an embed at the bottom of a post will
display a threaded
conversation about that topic hosted on https://discuss.pixls.us
[3].

---

At the end of the day we want to help, and we know that the dev
team likely
would rather be hacking on Digikam. As such, we're ready and
willing to get
a new site up and running, and to help manage things.

Just let us know if we _shouldn't_ continue working on the site.
:)

Also, is there a contact person for the infrastructure your
running the site
on now? I'm assuming a server that the kde folks have somewhere?

pat

PS (interesting sidenote):
I scraped the existing site quickly to get this, and it appears to
me that
over the past 5 years the _majority_ of the posts are from two
submitters
(digikam + Dmitri).
A table of posts per person by year, since 2006:

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

Mica Semrick
In reply to this post by Gilles Caulier-4
I've started hacking on a template here:
https://github.com/pixlsus/digikam_website_theme. I registered a KDE
Identity and I'll request developer access this weekend.

Questions about the content:
1. About > Screenshots page: Are these up to date? Do we really need all
of them?
2. FAQ page: Can we collapse this into one page?
3. I'd like to stream line some of the content pages, as there are many,
what are the thoughts on this?
4. Is there any color scheme anyone had in mind? If possible, please
provide hex codes. This far I've borrowed a few colors from the KDE
website.

Lastly, are there any additions that anyone would like to see to the
website?

Best,
Mica

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

Dmitri Popov-2
Hi Mica,

First of all, thank you for going ahead with the project! I don't have
much to say about the structure and template, but I think that some
content needs to be revised. For example, some entries in the FAQ
section are outdated, while others need editing. I'd like to do that
once the new website is operational, but I'd need an access to the new
website and maybe some basic instructions on how to add and edit
contents.

Thanks,
Dmitri

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

2017-03-24 8:20 GMT+01:00 <[hidden email]>:
I've started hacking on a template here: https://github.com/pixlsus/digikam_website_theme. I registered a KDE Identity and I'll request developer access this weekend.

Questions about the content:
1. About > Screenshots page: Are these up to date? Do we really need all of them?


yes a simple screenshots  page is mandatory, but simplified to a single view and of course updated. This can be done later. An empty page is enough for the moment.


2. FAQ page: Can we collapse this into one page?

yes sure.
 
3. I'd like to stream line some of the content pages, as there are many, what are the thoughts on this?

Yes, this is the goal of the simplification. I need to llok what can be done exactly.
 
4. Is there any color scheme anyone had in mind? If possible, please provide hex codes. This far I've borrowed a few colors from the KDE website.

Certainly. But a black color based theme will be better as digiKam is photo application. I'm not sure if KDE website use this kind of theme.
 

Lastly, are there any additions that anyone would like to see to the website?


Nothing against the existing. So for the moment, to reproduce the current one is enough. We will see later for improvements. I need to ask to others developers, after a first pre-release version to review.

best

Dmitri,

You must ask to a KDE git account. web site source code will be hosted in git now. There is no CMS anymore.

Gilles

Hi Mica,

First of all, thank you for going ahead with the project! I don't have
much to say about the structure and template, but I think that some
content needs to be revised. For example, some entries in the FAQ
section are outdated, while others need editing. I'd like to do that
once the new website is operational, but I'd need an access to the new
website and maybe some basic instructions on how to add and edit
contents.

Thanks,
Dmitri

Thanks, Gilles! I'll do that. Do you know whom I should contact to get
a KDE Git account?

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

patdavid
All,

I've enabled the repo (git clone [hidden email]) for those with dev access that's what i used to clone.

It was an empty repo.  I've initialized it with a copy of the .commit-template from kdelibs, and I've pushed, so first commit should be in.

Dmitri, Mica or I would be happy to help you with writing content - we'll probably also write a meta post somewhere detailing the steps to take and how to use the new system (I did somethign similar with http://www.gimp.org/about/meta).

All,

I've enabled the repo (git clone [hidden email]) for those with dev access that's what i used to clone.

It was an empty repo.  I've initialized it with a copy of the .commit-template from kdelibs, and I've pushed, so first commit should be in.

Dmitri, Mica or I would be happy to help you with writing content - we'll probably also write a meta post somewhere detailing the steps to take and how to use the new system (I did somethign similar with http://www.gimp.org/about/meta).

Yes, exactly. This is a good idea to resule well the procedure to maintain contents in Hugo web site.

Hi all again,

The next stage to complet the Hugo migration is :

- to setup the test website.
- to patch the curretn Hugo implementation in KDE git repository
- to test results.
- to setup the target website with Hugo code in goal to publish final result on Internet.

Q :

- Where will be hosted test and new target web site ? The current one is hosted on KDE infrastructures. This will be always the case with Hugo port ?

Best

meta:

This all seems more like a dev discussion, I'm getting this on digikam-users ... whilst I appreciate it's good for users to be involved in dev I'm not sure spamming them with dev discussions will achieve that end. Apologies if I've erred I'm new on the 'users' mailing list.

All,

I've enabled the repo (git clone [hidden email]) for those with dev access that's what i used to clone.

It was an empty repo.  I've initialized it with a copy of the .commit-template from kdelibs, and I've pushed, so first commit should be in.

Dmitri, Mica or I would be happy to help you with writing content - we'll probably also write a meta post somewhere detailing the steps to take and how to use the new system (I did somethign similar with http://www.gimp.org/about/meta).

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

Mica Semrick
In reply to this post by Dmitri Popov-2
Hi all,

I seem to have no been granted commit access to the digikam website repo
yet, but hopefully that will clear up in the next few days and I'll push
what I have so I can share it with you all.

Porting all the site's content is getting very close to complete. If you
have some free time and want to help, please take a look at the
following things:

1. The 20 FAQs still in the drupal site, get the content and add it to
the documentation > faq.md file. Even getting the FAQs in markdown
format and posting them here to this thread would be a tremendous help.
2. Fix broken links, there are probably a lot of them that still use the
drupal syntax. You can run hugo locally and use a link checker to find
the broken links
3. Convert posts to markdown. Right now ever page still has HTML in it.
It'd be nice if pages were in markdown, where possible. If you edit a
page, please convert it to markdown and check to make sure it looks
reasonable!
4. Update the screenshots, they're all old!
5. Add the `<!--more--> tag to news items. This controls what hugo shows
on summary pages. Right now, nothing uses this tag.

You can check the git repo out from KDE's source control using git:
git://anongit.kde.org/websites/digikam-org and submit patches here on
the list, on this thread please. Or if you have commit access to the
project, go for it!

You can run hugo's internal server to serve you the local website by
first downloading and/or installing hugo (available as a binary for most
platforms at http://gohugo.io), cloning the repo, cd into the
digikam-org folder, and run "hugo serve" from your command prompt.

If you'd like to request commit access to the project, you can do it by
registering an account at identities.kde.org and requesting developer
access.

Again, sorry I haven't pushed yet, but hopefully that will happen
tomorrow!

Best,
Mica

Re: What can the pixls.us photographic community help DigiKam?

Hi all,

I seem to have no been granted commit access to the digikam website repo yet, but hopefully that will clear up in the next few days and I'll push what I have so I can share it with you all.

Porting all the site's content is getting very close to complete. If you have some free time and want to help, please take a look at the following things:

1. The 20 FAQs still in the drupal site, get the content and add it to the documentation > faq.md file. Even getting the FAQs in markdown format and posting them here to this thread would be a tremendous help.
2. Fix broken links, there are probably a lot of them that still use the drupal syntax. You can run hugo locally and use a link checker to find the broken links
3. Convert posts to markdown. Right now ever page still has HTML in it. It'd be nice if pages were in markdown, where possible. If you edit a page, please convert it to markdown and check to make sure it looks reasonable!


What do you mean by Markdown exactly ? 

4. Update the screenshots, they're all old!

I will do it step by step.
 
5. Add the `<!--more--> tag to news items. This controls what hugo shows on summary pages. Right now, nothing uses this tag.

You can check the git repo out from KDE's source control using git: git://anongit.kde.org/websites/digikam-org and submit patches here on the list, on this thread please. Or if you have commit access to the project, go for it!

You can run hugo's internal server to serve you the local website by first downloading and/or installing hugo (available as a binary for most platforms at http://gohugo.io), cloning the repo, cd into the digikam-org folder, and run "hugo serve" from your command prompt.

If you'd like to request commit access to the project, you can do it by registering an account at identities.kde.org and requesting developer access.

Again, sorry I haven't pushed yet, but hopefully that will happen tomorrow!


I created an entry in Phabricator for that few days ago :

Markdown is a very simple text styling method.
The original spec was created by John Gruber:

The syntax is very simple and straightforward.  Hugo also supports using an extended version of the spec normally referred to "Github flavored Markdown":

It just extends a few things (and isn't normally required).

The important thing is that any valid HTML is still valid markdown, so you can still use <a href="https://www.digikam.org">these links</a> like normal.

I also recently scraped and combined all of the FAQ entries into a single page.  I'll look with Mica at adding a nice TOC to the top of the page for navigation (perhaps something similar to: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html).
