Hello everyone,

the current dot.kde.org website is still using the old web design and an old version of the Drupal CMS. I have been working on an updated version of the dot using Hugo instead.

The updated dot as the following advantage, it uses the current theme used in other websites, it is faster to load, is more secure and need less maintenance.

A current demo is available here: https://irl.carlschwan.eu/.

This will require some change in our editing workflow for a new article since the content is now stored in git and Gitlab. There is two different way how we could draft article without making then public on the web.

* Using the GitLab workflow for stuff that are not sensitive. This means to create a new issue for each new dot article, click on the "create merge request" button and then open the web IDE to get a powerful text editor and merging when we want to publish. This won't make the text draft invisible to all since people can still see all the open merge requests if they want. But for stuff that we discuss in the Promo channel and are technically visible for all, this won't change anything.

* For stuff that really needs to be invisible until the announcement (e.g. big donations, collaboration announcements), the best way would be to create a shared document on share.kde.org and share it with the people who should see it only and then copy it in Gitlab when this should be visible.

This is a bit more complex but allows for some interesting improvement in our workflow. For example, we get issue tracking for each article we want to post with time tracking. This allows also people who are not dot editor to submit an article for review. And we get the powerful code review features from GitLab for the articles (adding comments and suggesting changes). The editing will also be done in markdown, this should be easier than editing HTML like in the current interface (HTML is also supported).

For those, we dot editor access, please log at least one time in invent.kde.org with your identity credential, so that an invent account is created and that sysadmin can grant you access to the repository.

Cheers,
Carl
