Find best platform for an "overview webpage" for the project
Issue #3
resolved
We have (more or less) agreed that there should be an overview web page giving a nice impression of the roadmap for the project as well as at least a rough idea of the code design and implemented features.
This page needs to be based somewhere and in some format. Off the top of my hat, there are several possibilities:
-
Pros:
- It is part of the official Sage page.
- It is free, easy and immediately usable.
- It can be edited by anyone with a Trac account. This could be good to avoid information rotting.
Cons:
- It doesn't seem to be very used or read
- It is ugly and perhaps doesn't easily present a nice overview.
- It has arbitrary technical limitations (e.g. can we put a full-sized, svg image at the center?)
- It can be edited by anyone with a Trac account. This can be bad since it is really our decision what should be part of our project roadmap.
-
Our Bitbucket front page
Pros:
- It is free and easy (uses Markdown syntax).
- It has fewer arbitrary technical limitations
- Anyone with write-rights to the repository can edit it
Cons:
- It requires opening up the repo for public read (but we might do that anyway)
- It requires advertising this repo (but most people that interested in the project might need to know about it anyway)
- There are still technical limitations (we probably can't make a nicely formatted HTML-formatted table of Trac-tickets related to the project, which is dynamically updated according to their status on [trac.sagemath.org])
-
A web page we host at some INRIA servers, possibly with a nice domain for it
Pros:
- Ultimate technical freedom
Cons:
- Laborious to set up.
- It requires advertising this web page, which otherwise noone would visit
- The added technical freedom also requires work to utilise
- Probably would allow only INRIA-employees with specific access grants to modify
