KDE Developer portal
Hello everyone, Some of you probably saw the "First-class user & developer documentation centralized on a portal" goal proposal by Isadora one year ago (https://phabricator.kde.org/T11096). I shared Isadora's opinion, of having a good developer portal with all the information on how to use the KDE Frameworks, could help with third-parties' use of them, and also help with the onboarding of new developers. Sadly it wasn't voted but in the same direction, I experiment with creating such a developer portal for KDE using the static site generator Hugo and the docsy theme. The result with a few converted articles can be seen here: http://kde.carlschwan.eu/docs/. Current advantages of docsy and Hugo over the current Mediawiki install at techbase.kde.org are: * It is possible to have code examples that can be compiled and shared as tars. This make it easier to have an automatic test ensuring that the code in the examples works. * The content gets automatically organized in section and with easy navigation between the sections. * It is also possible to create promotional content of our developer libraries and tools as can be seen here http://kde.carlschwan.eu (I need to put more work on it), news pages, and other types of pages. * It is possible to host multiple separate documentation on the same instance so that it could be possible in the future to move stuff like docs.plasma-mobile.org and hig.kde.org to the same instance so that search would work across the projects. * One less wiki instance to maintain (there are pains to maintain and update). Moving from a Wiki also has some disadvantages, first, we need to port all the content but it would be a good occasion to update them to Qt5 and KF5. This will be a lot of work so help will be needed. And it will make it slightly more difficult to contribute since unlike a wiki it uses git, but in the sidebar, a link is included and directly open the GitLab web editor for the open webpage. There is also the possibility to move to Sphinx, as some other KDE projects did, and I have a small demo here: https://invent.kde.org/carlschwan/techbase-kde-org. Problems with sphinx are that the theming isn't easy and it is a lot more difficult to create great promotional content with it. It also has a small advantage that a Doxygen integration already exists, so it easy to link to api.kde.org classes and methods but I have an idea of how to create a similar integration in Hugo. So my question now to the community is the effort worth it? and who would like to work on it with me? ;) It doesn't necessarily need technical knowledge, but we need to work on the promotional content, porting the old articles to a similar but different format, updating them to Qt5 and KF5 (and maybe also writing new articles about Kirigami/Android/... for examples). Cheers, Carl PS: The dark theme is broken, I know already :(
Introducing KDE Activity Filter
Hi all, A few years back Sysadmin had to turn off the old Commit Filter service due to a number of security issues, with no replacement available. I'm now happy to announce that a replacement service is now available, with the added functionality of also being able to cover activity on Bugzilla and Gitlab (for Tasks and Merge Requests). It is intended that Activity Filter will be used to provide Gitlab notifications for merge requests and tasks to mailing lists, along with CI notifications if desired (once that is moved to Gitlab) The new service is configured through YAML format files in the sysadmin/activityfilter repository (https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/activityfilter), which is open to developers to commit. Please ensure that you read the README contained in the repository before doing so. Please let us know if you have any questions on the above! Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
