Need a website

[carols10cents]

Like http://railsbridge.org/ :)

RustBridge website

Necessary parts of the RustBridge website

1. Landing page with statements of intention and currently running workshops
2. Workshop material pages that can host multiple guides
3. Template for individual workshop: contact, application process, etc.
4. Link to the rustfest team for people interested in running a RustBridge
5. A blog, for the "this week in" goodness

Examples: http://www.clojurebridge.org/, http://www.railsbridge.org/

In a second phase probably: space for learners groups to organise themselves, maybe an adoption of https://rorganize.it/?

should we give it a trial with pages.github for the start?
we could build a repo for the workshop content and add some extra pages to link the content ... more elaborate functionality can follow as needed.

[milibopp]

do we just build static sites? if so, do you have a template to start of with or should we use some common static site generator?

[broesamle]

my guess was that we would be using a github repo for the content anyways ... so why not make use of the built in page generation mechanisms?

[skade]

@sonjaheinen has agreed to build a first draft and design of the website. We decided for static HTML for now, which can be refactored into Jekyll. (Reasons: Sonja is going to do this while flying out for a 2 months data-restrained leave)

[broesamle]

For the Workshops at Rustfest it would be good to have a streamlined intro to "Why it would be fun+useful+great... to learn Rust", the Idea of the Bridge, What people will expect etc. (cf #42 )

@SonjaHeinen, just to avoid douplicate work, is there already some text material for a landing page available? preliminary, adapted from other *Bridge pages?, loose collection of text snippets.

[sxosxo]

Sorry I've been MIA. However I started working on a website and will share my progress later today.
@broesamle I don't have a collection of text materials. Albeit, I'm looking at Django Girls as a best practice :-)

[broesamle]

Thank you for the Jango girls link ... it was good inspiration despite the fact that my version turned out more technical :-)

Anything I could help with to get this done?

Cheers

Here is a suggested change to the site's information architecture. Goals are:

• More clearly signal primary paths
• Allow for future growth of content / multiple chapters

I believe the only thing missing is the blog/news section. Other than that looks pretty good and we can implement it iteratively.

Here is the revised sitemap: rust-bridge-sitemap.pdf

I've also posted the source file (OmniGraffle) to a public Google Drive folder.

I've put the Gutenberg version of the website online. @devdiva please let me know if you had any progress with the frontend design for this so we can start integrating the new sitemap.

[skade]

Nice! Please go through the team and contact everyone if they still plan to be involved or take them off :).

Oh Hai. I haven't been as involved as I would like and I want to change that. I'm thinking about working with the nyc rust meetup group to start hosting some meetups under the bridge theme format. Where else can I help out

Also the site looks great!
