Website to Github

Hi,

sometimes I am wondering about the website-to-github process. I don't fully know what happened.

1) There are two repositories "web" and "cherokee.github.com". What is the difference between them?

2) When I go to http://cherokee.github.com I get redirected to www.cherokee-project.com. How can I see the actual page that is on the github server?

3) Github supports onl static HTML files, is that true? So everything needs to be converted to static HTML?

My guess is that there should be a gh-pages as branch somewhere, and the
subdomain thing was an instruction to do so by github.

When I remove the CNAME you can see so.

Exactly, I wouldn't mind if some pages would be converted directly to the
wiki system of github.

It supports Jekyll sites too. Jekyll is basically a static site generator,
it applies templates to a set of pages, and also has some blog-like
features. See https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages

I've seen some people use Octopress in the past. Octopress is powered by
Jekyll and Octopress blogs can be hosted on Github Pages.

Well,

Just don't use octopress, there are many other 'static pages generators'
which are a bit better in such cases like: Pelican, Blogofile (blogs...) or
even default python sphinx, that can generate quite cool websites from RST
files.

Alvaro will change the DNS asap after our github part is done.

I received some mails that people were actually working on the migration,
stylesheet and images wise. Can we set a feasible goal and targetdate?

Hey guys,

A friend and I have converted a decent chunk of the site to Jekyll:

https://github.com/johnbacon/cherokee.github.com/tree/gh-pages

It works well. It's a bit tedious because I'm cleaning up the HTML syntax,
fixing blatant problems, and trying to remove incorrect/outdated content as
I go. Feel free to fork.
