Link to these two indices at the bottom of the announcement/blog/etc feed on the front page, and also in the footer.

This one can be implemented by someone else, and I can take it afterwards to do any required layout-ing

Implemented for news at http://www2.scala-lang.org:8888/news/ with a link to that one under the news feed of the front page.

Two questions:

  • Does it do what you wanted it to do? Am I missing something?
  • I understand you want a different page for blog posts, but currently blog posts seem to be a type of news item. Shall I filter these out of the news and display in /blog/? Should they be in /blog/_posts/ instead?

  1. yep, that looks great!
  2. ah yes, that's right, I completely forgot about that detail. Personally, I think they should be filtered out of the news items- but I'm not sure if that makes sense. Blog articles could be considered news items. I think my idea was that if people just wanted to see blog articles (which would appear probably very seldomly) there should be a way to sort them out of the bazillions of news items we'll have about milestones, maintenance releases, etc.

So to continue point #2, maybe we keep the blog items in the news feed, but we filter the news items out from the blog items to make a blog index? so the news page has everything, and the blog page has only blog articles.

Does that make sense? WDYT?

I think that makes sense. I'll implement that.

OK done.
However, note that, since one post (in Jekyll's terms) can have only one URL, links found on /blog/ will point to /news/xx. And on that page, the list on the right will display all news (not only blog posts). I don't think I can work around that.

Done 9f64662.
Since the front page already offers an overview of the latest 4 posts, the News Archive main body is simply the list of entries.
Hence this page, and news/blog/etc. pages can follow the 'page' layout, and everything is styled out correctly without maintenance overhead.
