CentOS docs - Mar 2019 - proposal for centos.org/download

Hi all,

I try to migrate https://wiki.centos.org/Download to
https://centos.org/download/.
What are you thinking about this idea ?
What i have done so far: https://www.leetbit.com/dev/web/centos/testing/

I also have one question: Why are the two website repos (bugs.centos.org
& centos.org) on git.centos.org and not on github ?

best regards,
florian

Hi Florian,

While we initially had all the links for download on main website, we
decided to just redirect to the wiki page as it was easier for QA people
at release time to switch/update that page, than it was to get it done
on the main website.

Now, nothing would prevent us from automating that for centos.org
itself, and that also answers your question about why not on github :
also a legacy decision, and we'll migrate soon git.centos.org to a new
platform, so people with accounts on our side would then be able to use
the usual PR git worflow to contribute.

Does that answer your question ?

PS : not following the -docs list closely, so I only saw your mail ..

Hi Fabian,

I already thought something like that, but thanks for your detailed
explanation. So as I understand you, for now it's better to leave the
download options at the wiki.
Let me explain, why I have done this proposal. I think the CentOS web
presence lacks of well structured design. What I want to say is, that
imho the wiki and website content are not clearly separated.
I think it's important if either the user has a more like wiki
experience (archlinux) or more a web exp. like freebsd.
To summarize, you answered all my questions and the above explanation
from me, so no further explanation needed.

ps: reactivated: https://www.leetbit.com/dev/web/centos/testing/
but yet I know it doesn't make much sense to send patches to centos-dev
according to the website.

best regards,
florian
