Hi all,
I've been researching the Sphinx theme approach to get our new web design
in place for the content pages themselves. The landing page is complete,
using the jinja2 templates. [1]
I've learned a few things I want to share and these things bring me to look
for a slightly different approach than I have in the original blueprint.
The header for www.openstack.org has always matched docs.openstack.org and
should continue to do so.
The docs team will likely have to debug any CSS/JS problems with the
templates.
Outside of docs, we have ci.openstack.org, specs.openstack.org, and
governance.openstack.org using the current oslosphinx theme. They've
modified the header in some cases. So there's reasoning to keep the current
oslosphinx theme as-is.
The oslosphinx theme is a theme in itself and it's not straightforward to
just add a second extension to it that could be used for docs.openstack.org.
Well it's six of one, half dozen of the other, but in discovering there may
be a need to keep oslosphinx as-is, and for maintenance, it makes sense to
build our own openstack-docs theme in a separate library.
In the discovery phase, I've put this patch together [2].
In looking at all the overlap between the jinja2 templates and CSS, it is
definitely more efficient to try to maintain all those files together. I
think a separate repo is the way to go.
Does that sound okay to you all? Please reply here and/or vote on [3].
Thanks,
Anne
