New website

[Carl Schwan]

Hello,
the website progressed a lot during Season of KDE and it was completly updated. Thanks a lot to Anuj Bansal for his work on that and in improving the Jekyll theme with new components.

It now use the Jekyll KDE theme, the screenshots are all updated with the latest version of Calligra and use the Breeze theme. A demo version is available at https://irl.carlschwan.eu/. It would be nice, if someone could take a look at it and reports any errors or problems found. Particulary if the information present on https://irl.carlschwan.eu/old-components/ are correct.

The website git repository is located at invent.kde.org/anujbansal/calligra-website/ and will be moved to invent.kde.org/websites/calligra-org in the future, after the review.

For the sysadmin request and the deployment, I will need to know who need to access the website. From reading the logs, I think it should be at least Jarosław Staniek and danders, but if anyone else want access please let me know. Just make sure you have an account in invent.kde.org (just login with your identity.kde.org identifier one time), otherwise Sysadmin can't grant you access :-).

I hope not many problems will be found. My plan will be to deploy the website before the end of this month, so that it can appear on my second monthly KDE web news :-)

Cheers,

> I already spoke a bit about it with Leinir, but I will mentor a Season of KDE project about updating the Calligra website. The idea of updating the Calligra website was really popular and I received more than 10 proposals for the website. I choose Anuj Bansal since he already contributed to the juk.kde.org website and he is familiar with the current KDE web tooling.

> -   Content:
>     -   the screenshots need to be updated to use the Breeze theme
>     -   the text need be checked to see if it is still actual
>     -   Url should remain the same for compatibility with the old links
>     -   Old content needs to be ported. We should not lose any announcements
>     -   The planet feature is easy to reproduce using the Jekyll planet component.
>     -   Add get-involved page with links to developer information and other useful information to start hacking on Calligra ;)
> -   Design:
>     -   The updated website will use the Aether theme. This is the theme used for kde.org and was designed for KDE.
>     -   Potentially we could use some small variation from the main theme to make the website more unique.
>     -   A good example about how the website could look in the future is kontact.kde.org
>     -   New design will be also compatible with mobile phone.
> -   Infrastructure:
>     -   The new website will use Jekyll a static site generator (the CI build the website and the server only serve plain html content). This means the website will be faster to load for the visitor and more secure.
>     -   All the content is stored in git as markdown files and this makes it easier to contribute to the website (we can use gitlab as CMS)

>         As the first step for Anuj, I think the best would be to set up a repository in invent.kde.org and create the base structure with a lot of boilerplate content (copied from the existing website) and the basic Jekyll configuration. When we can iterate over the content and design until everyone is happy with it. :)
