<div dir="ltr"><div>Can you give specific examples of where things are automated, or give a run-down of the current workflow so I know the exact process as it is?<br><br></div><div>Depending on what is done, we have options. <br><br>The option I like the least would be to have a Drupal module which imports PHP documents and simply acts as a "capacity emulator"; this is likely what will be done for release archives, but it would likely "just work" with new releases. In this case it would likely be easier than anything you do now, as you would only create the announcement page and Drupal would handle linking. However, this is not a good long-term solution as we lose out on search, more robust translation tools, and the fact that it defeats the whole purpose of Drupal.<br><br></div><div>The option I prefer is to have a form in Drupal - probably via a module - which would replace SVN entirely for announcements. <br><br>We would not need to re-write whole announcements! I'll say that first! We would instead use a module, and build boilerplate content into that module. For some forms, such as KDE Applications announcements, it may be as few as three fields (an optional free-form content area, the version, and release date); from there it would link the announcement appropriately once it's the release date, and we could also provide a preview link. We can add more optional fields as well, such as links if you aren't comfortable auto-generating them. Boilerplate would be automatically translated.<br><br></div><div>Depending on what else / how else you automate, I'll have more answers for things like change logs, which I'm curious to know if there's secret sauce there. I'm in the process of finishing the template, so next is custom modules we'll need, so this is actually a really great time to into your requirements so we can (ideally) avoid disruption and make future admin tasks better/faster/smarter/stronger.<br><br></div><div>Thanks!<br></div><div> - Ken<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 5:36 PM, Albert Astals Cid <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aacid@kde.org" target="_blank">aacid@kde.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Riddell, Faure and me, do releases like almost every month (or more).<br>

How is drupal-based <a href="http://kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">kde.org</a> going to affect our workflow versus the current<br>
status in svn in which we can automate lots of things by just commiting to<br>
