Sagemath.org Website

The src contains the sources for the files, they are rendered to fill-in the blanks for the templates and the output is placed into www.

There are various support scripts for processing the data sources and a makefile to help working with it.

Getting Started

Make sure to not only clone from here or your fork, but also to initialize all submodules.

git clone --recursive git@github.com:sagemath/website.git

or if you forgot the --recursive switch, do this:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Later, don't forget to not only update the website project, but also the submodules (or whatever it is the right thing to do). For example:

git submodule foreach "git checkout master; git pull origin master"

Development

The websites needs various data-sources to build its pages. For example, the publications pages use HTML snippets generated by the publications submodule.

Ideally, a courageous make should do everything for you and and additional make open opens up your web-browser to inspect the result.

To test the website under realistic conditions, make server starts a minimal HTTP server on port 8181 and make show opens it in your web-browser.

Continuous Build Mode

For your convenience, there is a continuous build mode available: make cont

It depends on

• pyInotify - pip install --user pyinotify - to pick up any changes in your local file-system.

• xdotool - apt-get install xdotool - which does reload the open tab in your web-browser (by sending Shift+Ctrl+R).

Their combined effect is, that less than a second after you "save" a file, you can see the result without lifting a finger.

Style

• HTML: Modern HTML5, but nothing too fancy please. One of the main design goals is that everything should still work without Javascript and no Flash.

• Python: PEP8 is authoritative for various Python scripts -- except E501 (long lines). Just make sure your pep8 and autopep8 is up-to-date and do a healthy make style to clean up your code before you commit.
