2018 Site Redesign Proposal
Hello everyone, long time no talk! I hope everyone has been well. I've had... a hectic time of it but I'm settling down finally. I should apologize for how MIA and hard-to-reach I have been. Hopefully now that things are more stable in my personal life, I can give more time to CL and other projects. As a start, I've written a basic design update for Common-Lisp.net. You can view and comment on the code for it here: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clo/site/merge_requests/1 This features actual mobile responsiveness (yes, the last design had an embarrassing mistake, I know!) and removes the mtime dependency that was preventing us from upgrading Ruby on CLnet's servers. I think we're still on a very old Ruby version, hopefully this will allow us to upgrade it, or at least remove one more barrier. Please take your time to review it at your leisure; I know I'm sort of surprising everyone with this. I've attached a few screenshots so you can see what it looks like at a glance. Thank you, - C. Yang

I thought the plan was to port the current site over to a non-Ruby version in https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clo/cl-site and then change that one? It would be considerably easier for the operators to get rid of the Ruby dependency.

Indeed for me it is a higher priority to remove the Ruby dependency and be able to generate the site from Lisp than it is to have a new site. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
Yes, that's right, I recall it now. I'll move the front-end work over and pick up where we left off there.
