I'm very new to websites list, so I may be unaware of any SOP that
predates my joining. That being said, I have been hanging out with
Fedora-infra for a while, and whenever they do new sites, there are
some tools/practices they use:
0) We should use revision control (git)
1) We should host the repository on Pagure.io (and mirror on Github?)
We know this part, but fedorahosted is where the fedora-web repo is
stored and we're planning to use a directory therein.
2) We should serve the content on OpenShift (like past FLOCK
websites)
or on maybe hosted infra?
Hosted infra, we are trying to move away from OpenShift. But in any
case, I was asking about the mechanics of setting up the folder in the
repo, as opposed to where to host. We're riding along with fedora-web
and go where they steer.
