All, For 4.17.2.0 release publication on the website, I had to manually edit the website [0] build as I couldn't get middleman to work on either Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 (after spending a good hour to fix the ruby/gems build system). Any pointers on getting middleman/gems to work?
As our website is dated, and in the past ASF infra has advised against setting up a dynamic CMS such as Wordpres for us I'm looking into alternatives that are ASF infra approved [1] and looking into Pelican and Jekyll. I'm also exploring what other ASF TLP websites are using for inspiration. I also found several apache projects such as apisix [2]<https://github.com/apache/apisix-website> having complex website build systems that use Netlify or other means of publishing websites. My high-level proposal is that we; (a) explore/investigate and migrate to a build system that is compliant with ASF infra policies and easy for anybody (esp PMCs and release managers) to setup/iterate locally, (b) integrate PR builds using Github actions or community CI/QA server (https://qa.cloudstack.cloud/) and, (c) we update the project website to use a modern library (something like Ant Design which we use with the ACS UI, or bootstrap, bulma, etc). Any suggestions, comments, or advice on this?
