## Background ## More background can be found in [1][2]. The current website template [3] has not been updated for six years and uses outdated tech that can hardly be used for new podlings.
I developed a new template[4], and it's been used for a few podlings already. All of them are glad to see this improvement. ## Proposal ## Create a new repo under COMDEV PMC to host the new website template. Such a template is mainly for new podlings setup but is also suitable for any TLPs. The name is to be determined. Following the self-serve rules, we can only create repo with comdev- prefix, so perhaps comdev-website-template. Or from why I create an INFRA ticket, apache/website-template-docusaurus, with INFRA's help. ## Reject Alternative ## 1. Create a new branch under apache/apache-website-template. It's discussed in [5][6] and doesn't seem a good direction. 2. Create a new repo under Incubator PMC. I'm hesitant about this, actually. But Andrew Wetmore wrote: > This is not the purview of the Incubator, and it's not the purview of Infra. It's kind of reasonable, so I reached out here first. Best, tison.
