And, loklak is also the name of this project that the goal of collecting and indexing social media message data in a peer to peer network to enable users to analyze big data.

Adding sub-projects is described here: https://github.com/loklak/dev.loklak.org/wiki/How-to-add-documentations-to-dev.loklak.org

[yukiisbored]

I'm not a good web developer, we can create a javascript site as the start page which parses a JSON file that contains the projects and the meta-data so it'll dynamic.

[mariobehling]

Actually, could we make this part of the build process and simply have a static front page in the same design of the rest of the page?

[yukiisbored]

Yes, we can.

[mariobehling]

Should we keep the script in this repository therefore and trigger new builds regularly instead of keeping scripts in the different repositories?

[yukiisbored]

@mariobehling We can't do that, there's no free services for this.

[mariobehling]

What can we do? Would it work if we trigger new builds manually?

There are several issues with collecting documentation from different repositories in this way, e.g. no common search and need to ensure design is aligned with all of them.

Shouldn't we move a script that collects info from different repos to one repository?

[imujjwal96]

Shall I create the start page using sphinx itself?

[imujjwal96]

@mariobehling @yukiisbored What if we store the reStructuredText Markup file for the start page in the https://github.com/loklak/loklak repository and use CI to build it in the dev.loklak.org repository? Will that do the job?

[mariobehling]

@imujjwal96 This repo will be deleted. We need simple solutions. Surely, I can also come up with lots of other ideas, but how can we kee it simple? Let's not add additional repos, that don't actually hold info.

The start page of a project with several subprojects should be in the actual repo, that renders the website.
