writethedocs / www-old Goto Github PK

Currently we just link to Youtube on our video page -- this is not the best experience. We should go through all our old speaker data and generate nicer video pages with talk information, thumbnails, speaker headshots, and embedded videos for the conference.

We did a better job of this in 2013, and should do it in a central place for all our videos.

Maybe this conflicts with some of the other feedback that's incoming about the page, but the 2015 North America conference should probably be removed from the top of Upcoming Events on http://www.writethedocs.org/

On http://www.writethedocs.org/conf/, the link to the 2015 North America "past conference" results in a 404 (points to "http://conf.writethedocs.org/na/2015.md")

Can we pick one of

• Write the Docs
• Write The Docs

and stick to it? We've got a mix at the mo. As we use WTD I'd go with second option.

There doesn't seem to be a link to conference videos from the website. It might make it easier for people to enjoy the content if they could get to it—and it might make people interested in going to future WriteTheDocs conferences and meetups.

If I look at the EU 2016 page (http://www.writethedocs.org/conf/eu/2016/), at the bottom of the page I can't see the mailing list sign-up form. But I can see it on the NA 2016 site (http://www.writethedocs.org/conf/na/2016/).

I checked the index.rst for both pages -- they seem to be using the same HTML blob in both places, and inspecting the browser source shows that it's arriving on both pages. It's weird.

Chrome and Firefox on Windows 7.

If anyone is looking for a way to contribute back to WTD — it would be great to find links to all the round up blog posts and add them to the main conf website under the "Thanks" section. You can find the page to edit here: https://github.com/writethedocs/www/blob/master/docs/conf/na/2016/index.rst

It should just be a link to the blog posts under a heading like "Write ups from the community".

The #writethedocs hashtag on Twitter is probably the best place to find write ups, as well as Google for "write the docs 2016" or similar.

@ericholscher @agjohnson, just throwing these here so we don't forget nuthin':

• Fix toolbar (replace Speakers with Call for Proposals or something)
• Hide "Buy a Ticket" button
• Adjust colors to match EU2014 scheme (or similar)
• Replace top logo with EU dates and location

We develop documentation on a dev branch, which is rendered at http://writethedocs-www.readthedocs.org/en/dev/.

I'm not sure this is true. dev is 26 commits behind master. This page at least isn't being rendered from the master branch, as the conferences are out of date.

How is development working?

We should be highlighting the organizers of the meetups, and providing more information about upcoming events and other good things on our meetup page. We should also call out Mike Jang as the magical person who has started so much goodness around meetups, and give him more recognition on the website.
