Welcome to the dRonin Web Site planning wiki!

dRonin is looking for help building a site

dRonin is a new project and it doesn't have a Web Site yet. On this wiki, we are planning the upcoming site. Please contribute! If you have ideas for the content of the new site, put them here. It's just a sandbox. And if you're feeling ready, send a pull request for your content!

There is a discussion about the site on dRonin issue #205

If you want to help with the dRonin site, please join us on IRC://chat.freenode.net/dRonin or Webchat.freenode.net(https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#dronin)

dRonin Web Site content

Feel free to edit anything! This is just a sandbox

  • Welcome page - shiny logo, news/git feed to show the vigor of the project, inspirational content that is welcoming of all new users
  • Get started flying - Get flying quick with a simple guide
  • Flight Test Team - Join the team of flight testers!
  • User Documentation - Links to all the relevant user documentation
  • About dRonin - additional information about the project, who and what is it good for (not just Ph.Ds!), and how to get involved / More detailed about/FAQ page. Why does this exist? Why isn't it Tau Labs/OpenPilot/librepilot. But all I know is cleanflight, which is the best, why would I use something else?
  • Developer resources - Setting up a dev environment, contributing to the project, dev rules, etc - get involved page
  • Builds and Autotune database - Autotown database, which is also a user build database

Choosing a CMS

To make things easier, a static generator that can take markdown content and be used easily with github. Three possible choices:

There's a proposal to use Jekyll alongside a pre-made template, perhaps Skinny Bones for Jekyll https://mmistakes.github.io/skinny-bones-jekyll/

However, the web site will need to integrate Autotown, the dRonin auto-tuning database https://github.com/d-ronin/autotown/wiki - However, if using Jekyll alongside Autotown (which uses angularjs) there might be a need for a workaround as described here http://www.noxidsoft.com/development/using-jekyll-and-angularjs-together/
