Add a News section to the website?

[eduardo-rodrigues]

Should we maybe have a page on news as for example the scikit-learn website https://scikit-learn.org/ has? This would be a place to add major news such as the first release of a new package, a package or project joining the group, major releases that can potentially make a difference (backward incompatibilities), etc. One could also add bits of info such as what I recently mentioned on the Gitter channel, namely "A cute piece of info: Scikit-HEP made it to the PDG online particle physics information".

What do you think, @henryiii, @HDembinski, @matthewfeickert?

As long as it's a small, simple list, I think it's doable. If it is a full set of blog posts, I think it might be hard to keep up.

Side note: the Gitter channel might be something to link to from the front page.

[eduardo-rodrigues]

Short and sweat, yes, see the scikit-learn examples. Certainly not a collection of blog posts.

Gitter channel: agreed, clearly.

Quick update here: if we still want to push on this then the fact that ATLAS is now officially a user would make for a great piece of news :-).

[HDembinski]

Sounds good. Somewhat related: I was thinking of an additional section with a list of "Papers that used Scikit-HEP".

[eduardo-rodrigues]

That's a good point, @HDembinski. Something for a dedicated section in https://scikit-hep.org/resources? Cc'ing @marinang.

[eduardo-rodrigues]

Else https://scikit-hep.org/projusers that so far is more on software using bits of Scikit-HEP. Maybe better here.

[HDembinski]

@eduardo-rodrigues Not sure if https://scikit-hep.org/resources is the right place. What I had in mind are analysis papers that used Scikit-hep. I don't think you can learn from those papers much about Scikit-HEP or how to use it (most of the content in "resources" is about that, I believe.

This section is mainly intended as advertising for Scikit-HEP ("oh look, this many papers were already written and approved that use Scikit-HEP tools, we should give it a try, too"). So to make it prominent, I would add a new top-level section so that it appears prominently on the menu on the left side of https://scikit-hep.org.

[eduardo-rodrigues]

I take your points, @HDembinski. Fair enough.

[eduardo-rodrigues]

@HDembinski, on your comment

What I had in mind are analysis papers that used Scikit-hep.

Then introduce a new section "Publications"? That would work especially if at the top of the page we add links to the various sections on the page.
