Welcome: New ovirt.org website!
by Mikey Ariel 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Following yesterday's pre-launch email[1], I'm happy to announce that the new ovirt.org[2] website is now live in **public beta** and available for community review. All the information in this email is also available in the first blog post of our shiny new oVirt blog[3]. Read on for information about new features, known issues, and a call for reviews. The old MediaWiki site is still available in read-only[4], and will be taken offline on **March 1, 2016**. This is to ensure that you can compare pages and review migrated content. What's New ========== The new Website is full of improvements and enhancements, check out these highlights: * Source content is now formatted in Markdown instead of MediaWiki. This means that you can create and edit documentation, blog posts, and feature pages with the same Markdown syntax you know. * The Website is deployed with Middleman and stored on GitHub. This means that you can make changes to content with the same GitHub contribution workflow that you know (fork, clone, edit, commit, submit pull request). We even have an "Edit this page on GitHub" link at the bottom of every page! * New layout and design, from breadcrumbs to sidebards and an upgraded landing page. (This is still WIP, please see known issues.) * Automatic redirects from the old MediaWiki site. This means that if the wiki page exists in the new website, previously-released URLs will redirect to that page. If the page was removed, the Search page will open with the page title auto-filled in the search box. * Hierarchical content structure. This means that instead of flat Wiki-style files, the deployed Website reflects an organized source repo with content sorted into directories and sub-directories. * Official oVirt blog! Our new blog welcomes contributions. This means that if you solved a problem with oVirt, want to share your oVirt story, or describe a cool integration, you can submit a pull request with a blog post and we will provide editorial reviews and help publish your posts. * Standardized contribution process. The GitHub repo now includes a README.md[5] file that you can use to learn about how to add and edit content on the website. We welcome pull requests! Known Issues ============ Despite our best efforts, there are still a few kinks with the new website that you should be aware of: * Attempting to navigate to ovirt.org (without www.) leads to a redirect loop. We have a ticket open with OpenShift, our hosting service to fix this. * Only http is available. We also have a ticket with OpenShift to add SSL and enable https. * Home page and Download page are still being upgraded by our UX experts, expect some cool new changes soon! * Feature pages look-and-feel is still under construction. You can still edit and push feature pages as usual. What's Next =========== Even though the Website is live, the work is hardly over. We'd like to ask for your help in: * Reviewing content for anything obsolete or outdated (each page in the new website includes a header toolbar with metadata from the original wiki page for your convenience) * Submitting blog posts or any other content that you wish to share with the oVirt community * Reporting bugs and proposing enhancements, for example broken links or missing pages We hope you will enjoy the new oVirt Website, looking forward to your feedback and contributions!
