[Rock-dev] [Rock-users] Rock web site

[Steffen Planthaber]

Hi,

Yes, no decision had beed made, but we know now that hosting by github 
pages is possible

1. We can use rock-robotics.org with github pages hosting (different top 
level domain)
2. Generating the packages page by json input is also possible

I think the script which created the Directory page could also easily 
generate the JSON information (package name ans what info is available)

The API (and json) stays at the current location and the Directory page 
generates itself based on the JSON information and is hosted on gh-pages.

The website generation would be done directly by jekyll which is 
automatically run by github for all gh-pages. So seperating is easy:

- Api is generated and uploaded the old way (with additional JSON)
- The website is generated by github on each push to the website repo.

Could leave this on the old location
