Re: [Jython-dev] Jython 2.7.1 rc3 soft release

[Jim B. <jim...@py...>]

So far everything is working well for me on OSX and Ubuntu with RC3, as
expected. We have also had no new bug reports against RC3. So everything is
looking good for a July 1 release.

At this point, I think it's more about us updating our docs. I was on
vacation for the last few days, but on the plane back yesterday I started
to work on what we might want to do to update from our current site.

The current repo for the jython.org website is at
https://hg.python.org/jython-docs/website/, with the build process
described by https://hg.python.org/jython-docs/website/file/tip/README.txt
Note that the bulk of the repo is a pushed version of the build itself; of
that, it's mostly the Python 2.6 docs IIRC.

Most likely what we should do is use travis-ci to build our docs from a new
github repo, using content in RST that Sphinx can build, then push onto
github pages for jython.github.io; we can have the PSF admins update DNS to
point jython.org accordingly. https://github.com/Syntaf/travis-sphinx looks
promising in terms of some specific setup aspects. For now, I would just
link against the python.org 2.7 docs, vs trying to maintain our own copy
(which is not current against either Jython 2.5 or 2.7 regardless).

As for front page content, I would emphasize news less than the current
Jython site, and more about how Jython can and should be used. This is
similar to what is done for python.org itself. I have content from my
Jython talk from PyCon from 2015 that can be repurposed here, as well as
the article I co-authored with Josh Juneau for Java Magazine. I'm sure
there's other material we can use, drawing from the wiki, the book, and
other sources.

Ideally we can complete this all by July 1, by keeping it focused and again
reusing what we already have. Most importantly this leaves us in place with
a workflow that can help keep the site more up-to-date through standard PRs
than what we have now.

Any thoughts?
