Thank you very much to bump up this thread.
About [2]: (Just for the clarification) the content of the proposed
website is exactly the same as the old one.
About [1]. I believe that the "mvn site" is perfect for the
documentation but for website creation there are more simple and
powerful tools.
Hugo has more simple compared to jekyll. Just one binary, without
dependencies, works everywhere (mac, linux, windows)
Hugo has much more powerful compared to "mvn site". Easier to create/use
more modern layout/theme, and easier to handle the content (for example
new release announcements could be generated as part of the release
process)
I think it's very low risk to try out a new approach for the site (and
easy to rollback in case of problems)

ps: I just updated the patch/preview site with the recent releases:

Got pinged about this offline.
Thanks for keeping at it, Marton!
I think there are two road-blocks here
(1) Is the mechanism using which the website is built good enough - mvn-site
/ hugo etc?
(2) Is the new website good enough?
For (1), I just think we need more committer attention and get feedback rapidly
and get it in.
For (2), how about we do it in a different way in the interest of progress?
- We create a hadoop.apache.org/new-site/ where this new site goes.
- We then modify the existing web-site to say that there is a new
site/experience that folks can click on a link and navigate to
- As this new website matures and gets feedback & fixes, we finally pull the
plug at a later point of time when we think we are good to go.
Thoughts?

Hi,
I would like to bump this thread up.
TLDR; There is a proposed version of a new hadoop site which is available from
here: https://elek.github.io/hadoop-site-proposal/ and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14163
Please let me know what you think about it.
Longer version:
This thread started long time ago to use a more modern hadoop site:
Goals were:
1. To make it easier to manage it (the release entries could be created by a
script as part of the release process)
2. To use a better look-and-feel
3. Move it out from svn to git
I proposed to:
1. Move the existing site to git and generate it with hugo (which is a single,
standalone binary)
2. Move both the rendered and source branches to git.
3. (Create a jenkins job to generate the site automatically)
NOTE: this is just about forrest based hadoop.apache.org, NOT about the
documentation which is generated by mvn-site (as before)
I got multiple valuable feedback and I improved the proposed site according to
the comments. Allen had some concerns about the used technologies (hugo vs.
mvn-site) and I answered all the questions why I think mvn-site is the best for
documentation and hugo is best for generating site.
I would like to finish this effort/jira: I would like to start a discussion
about using this proposed version and approach as a new site of Apache Hadoop.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks a lot,
Marton
