Is there a public repo for play0ad.com?

[bowen951209]

Hi there.

I noticed that some pages on play0ad.com are outdated.

For example, https://play0ad.com/community/participate/ still tells us to use trac and SVN, but apparently it's been moved to Gitea.

https://play0ad.com/game-info/project-overview/ says that 0ad is still in alpha, but there is a release now.

Is play0ad.com managed internally, or there is a public repository where we can submit updates to those outdated pages?

Thank you.

It might still be on github: https://github.com/0ad/play0ad.com. I am not certain though

Thanks. But the latest commit is 7 years ago, so maybe somewhere else.

That's the last time it was versioned. I'm not quite sure how it is versioned, but it's something that could be looked into i guess, if there is any interest.

Could we change the website to one of those static sites that uses a git instance to host it so we could just make changes there to update the website?

We could but IIRC it was decided against .

Could be reevaluated. The main issue was it was harder for non technical people to get changes in.

Something I'd want to is to be able to translate it 

 

Couldn't find it

If needed I would like to help in this direction, it been months I think about it, (Since an Issue where someone provided a very nice  design and vanish xD)

Having a static site could be managed directly via Gitea,  and lot of static framework  are compatible with CMS like Sveltia https://sveltiacms.app/en/ (git CMS, successor of Decap CMS, actively maintened, authentification via gitea possible, every post / page is a MD file, with a media manager, i'm not related to this, but it was my nicest discovery this year, and could be "the user-friendly" missing link)

The current site is pretty much "static", in the way it doesnt have any dynamic formulaire/ comment etc, and migrating in a static site could prevent drama like last week (big vulnerability on PHP) improve performance and the "server side" would be lighter

I am bad as UI to make a nice design but for making a skeleton app and migrate from WP, I Could help, in fact if you can provide me an export (xml), I could work on convert to Markdown and so far. When the data are extracted and stored, is pretty easy to migrate to any other framework, Hugo, Zola, Astro ...

(I hate WP, I use it actually for work and he drive me crazy)

Not tested, but Sveltia provide multilingual support : https://sveltiacms.app/en/features/i18n

I've used github pages before too, and I might not mind helping, that is, if you guys want me to

Maybe what we could do, is make a site hosted separately from play0ad.com, and then when we complete it, we can have some people review it, and then we can make that the new 0ad website. @bowen951209, you started this thread, is there any specific things you wanted to add or change, or just the things you mentioned in your first post? Maybe we could make a play off all the changes we want, then we start. Also, I am wondering if we should just start over, because I at least am not understanding how the current website setup works, unless someone could explain it to me
