| stevied | what I'd really like to do is be able to generate the docs that are suitable for use as an ebook and sell it and donate proceeds to raku | 16:17 | |
| it's nice to be able to markup the document with my pencil and take notes on it | 16:19 | ||
| [Coke] | We did have the 'build a giant page' working years ago, but it fell into disrepair. Getting an ebook-ready format is in the backlog. If you'd like to take that on, more power to you. | 16:20 | |
| I suspect you'd be better off doing it using a similar build mechanism (but different render target) rather than trying to render a single page and then converting that to an e-book, but I don't know for sure | 16:21 | ||
| anyway, welcome ! | |||
| stevied | I would like to take it on but I'm probably in over my head and would have to spend months on the project | ||
| [Coke] | Join the club. :) | ||
| stevied | the giant page feature does work, for the most part. it's usable when running on a server. Then I printed it to a PDF and added it to Apple's Books app. It works. But many of the links are now broken. | 16:23 | |
| it's still better than nothing, though | 16:24 | ||
| I also exported to .epub and opened with an open source piece of software call calibre, but that's less usable. | 16:25 | ||
| the .epub version did not open at all on the apple books app. and when I tried to send it to my kindle device on my mac, it choked for some reason and didn't work. | |||
| by the way, the docs are 939 pages, not including the index on the left. with the index it's 1001 pages long | 16:32 | ||
| the index is the list of hyperlinks on the left hand side that links to each section of the doc | 16:34 | ||
| so what was the idea behind hub.docker.com/r/jjmerelo/perl6-doc? | 16:57 | ||
| when I run that container, I'm seeing docs from 3 years ago | 16:58 | ||
| sena_kun | well, it gives you the Dockerfile you can build on your own? | ||
| that's if you want the old website | |||
| you can take a look at github.com/Altai-man/docs.raku.org/ | 16:59 | ||
| stevied | ok, interesting. thanks | 17:20 | |
| lizmat | hmmm.. now that we have a raku-duc channel, maybe Geth should post commits etc here as well as on #raku ? | 17:24 | |
| *doc | |||
| ok, commits to the doc repo will now also be reported here... please let me know if you *do* feel this to be inconvenient | 17:30 | ||

| Nemokosch | Hello | 21:33 | |
| Browsing raku.org, I found this link of the "perl6-workshops" mailing list: groups.google.com/g/perl6-workshops?hl=en | 21:34 | ||
| It seems it cannot be accessed (not without some explicitly granted permission at least). Can I remove it? | 21:35 | ||
| [Coke] | Seems reasonable to hide the obscure lists. | 22:54 | |
| thanks | 22:55 | ||
| 23 Sep 2022 | |||
| Nemokosch | Oops, apparently there is a #raku-docs channel when only SmokeMachine and I were | 19:45 | |
| So yes... I wanted to ask another thing. Are there plans to move raku.org over to CIAvash's site, as of github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/158 ? If not - would it make sense for me to upgrade Bootstrap on that site? | 21:10 | ||
| patrickb | exit | 21:19 | |
| Nemokosch | what does that mean? | 21:26 | |
| 24 Sep 2022 | |||
| patrickb | It means I confused a terminal window with the IRC window before going to bed. :-P | 07:33 | |
| Nemokosch: We currently have no one feeling responsible for the websites. So no, there is no strategic plan for the sites. Work on improving them is appreciated. I guess the only requirement before making a (lager) change is giving enough time for potential feedback. So just go ahead, make a PR, ping lizmat so the PR ends up in the weekly, then merge it after two weeks time or earlier if you got respective positive feedback. | 07:39 | ||
| 25 Sep 2022 | |||
| Nemokosch | patrickb: yes, I had this feeling that the main burder is currently the lack of management | 12:01 | |
| Oh one more thing I wanted to say... I think it's essential to know what you are working on isn't set to become useless within a few months. I can collect ideas about the content of raku.org and that can last - however, I can't work on refurbishment without knowing the site itself won't get replaced to something else. The same way I think CIAvash deserves feedback on their site that they created years ago, with the intention o | 12:44 | ||
| g" it to raku.org. | |||

| [Coke] | team, I've been tied up with some personal items the past few weeks, apologies. I expect to spend more time on documentation items in the next four weeks. I think our main item is still getting the new site provisioned with devops, will (re?) start that thread this week | 13:05 | |
| also, my home internet is VERY intermittent lately; hopefully will be resolved later this week | 13:06 | ||
