Dogfooding

[sindresorhus]

We should of course use Yeoman to build our site. Me wants some dog food.

We'll wait until Yeoman 1.0 is released.

I have code from my concepts on #34 based on yeoman as it is.

Want it put on a branch?

[sindresorhus]

Sure :)

👍

I like the clean layout. Any ideas for the other pages? If so I'm available to port the rest of the site over.

[sindresorhus]

No point in doing this until the site refresh is ready, but thanks for the offer @ericduran, will definitely ping you then.

[tomlane]

anything else I can help with?

[addyosmani]

Lol. The very first version of the site was built using Yeoman if memory serves right.

@tomlane if you're still interested in helping out with the site I'm sure we could find one or two things we still need a hand with :)

[tomlane]

@addyosmani sounds good, let me know!

From #61: I'm biased, but I think the most up to date Yeoman/Jekyll generator is https://github.com/robwierzbowski/generator-jekyllrb. Yeoman and Jekyll 1.0+, optional Sass, Compass, Coffee, working Usemin build, all that good stuff. And of course suggestions welcome.

[ericduran]

I'm going to take this on once #62 is done. Currently is a bit of a hassle to work on the yeoman.io site :-/

That being said I think we should just move the current site to yeoman 1st and keep the site as is. Then we could do the rewrite and ideally it'll be easier then.

@ericduran If I can help/contribute, let me know. generator-jekylrb is pretty much at feature parity with generator-webapp, and I've made some improvements to grunt-jekyll (although you should check out this docs PR for updated usage instructions).

And if you need a responsive image solution, may I suggest Jekyll Picture Tag.

[sindresorhus]

This got lost in time, but we would love to have some help with switching to generator-jekyllrb and generally improve the site. See yeoman/yeoman#1245

[robwierzbowski]

I'm in!

[robwierzbowski]

This is completed!
