The website is generated by Anakia.
The source can be checked out from the
Tuscany SVN repository.
The source documents are in the "site-author" directory.
The documents to publish are in the "site-publish" directory.
Quick Start
If you just want to patch the website a little:
- Edit/add files in the site-author/ directory (copy-pasting from existing
files is often a good idea)
- Install a java runtime environment or development kit
- Type './build.sh' on linux/mac/solaris/unix or 'build.bat' on windows
You can now browse the site locally from the site-publish directory. Once you are
happy with your changes:
- Manually 'svn add' any files generated in site-publish that weren't there
before, or set the 'svn:ignore' property to ignore them. Eg something like
svn status site-publish | egrep '^\?' | sed -e 's/^\? *//g' | xargs svn add
may work for you.
- Check the generated stuff looks like you want it to. Eg something like
svn status site-publish | egrep '^(A|M)' | sed -e 's/^[AM] *//g' | xargs open may work for you.
- Commit.
Editing Images
The programs you will need to edit all the files used on the site are:
- Inkscape - Open source vector graphics editor,
used for all of the diagrams and a few layout components.
- The GIMP - Open source bitmap graphics editor, used for most of the site layout components.
The original sources for most of the images are in the "image-sources" folder. You should be able to edit these files
and export them to the site-author folder so they will be copied over when the site is built ulsing the steps above.
Editing the Layout
The layout of the site is defined in 'stylesheets/site.vsl'. This file contains both HTML and
VTL code.
Much of the layout is also set in the CSS file located in 'site-author/css/style.css'.
To change the contents of the navigation menu, please edit 'stylesheets/project.xml'
If you want to add more tabs to the layout across the top, they are defined in 'stylesheets/project.xml'
as well. However, you must also add any new tabs to 'DropMenu.js' in order for the menus to function properly.
Publishing the site
The published version of the site lives in the site-publish directory in SVN.
To make this live, it must first be exported to a staging location on
people.apache.org and from there it will be replicated to the live servers.
This replication can take up to four hours so be patient.
To update the site:
- log into people.apache.org
$ cd /www/incubator.apache.org/tuscany $ svn update - and wait ...
