Topics of Discussion

The meeting is an open floor, open for discussion of any topic entered below.

• Docs updates and long-term strategy
  • We have search working now.
  • Moved to docs.gluster.org on RTD.
  • We eventually want to have the hosting done in-house.
  • At some point in the future, we want to switch off mkdocs into something else
    • I'd prefer a more mature doc engine like Sphinx that can give us mutliple formats of outputs including epub.
    • Right now the switch is not a priority.
    • The priority is moving things to our infra.
• New website launching soon: gluster.wpengine.com is the current staging URL.
  • Same content as old website, new look and feel.
  • Combines blog.gluster.org and www.gluster.org
• Add topics as new bullet points here
