what to do with buildyourowninter.net?

[paidforby]

We recently acquired the domain, buildyourowninter.net. This is a place to put suggestions, discussion, and development notes until we have a website or repository.

Some initial suggestions include:

• mediaWiki, a la https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh
• gulp, a la https://disaster.radio
• a jekyll site, https://jekyllrb.com/
• ikea-style, hand-drawn, pictographic instructions

Whoever feels inclined could also just create a wiki or a repo and work on it!

Are there already any ideas about the content we want on buildyourowninter.net?

[sierkje]

I created a repo for this here: https://github.com/sudomesh/buildyourinter.net

It's empty for now, but ideas could be filed as issues over there also: https://github.com/sudomesh/buildyourinter.net/issues/new

I think content will mostly be guides, documentation, and infographics. Also it should be collaborative as possible, right? Not sure if a statically generated site suits this? Would something with a CMS, login, etc, be better?

Also another good question to think about, who is the target audience? Other mesh projects? community members? journalists? all of the above?

I don't know whether a CMS, a wiki, or a static site generator is best for this. It depends all on the content. That's why I was asking about that.

But if it should be "as collaborative as possible" when it comes to creating content, then yes, I'd use a CMS of some sort. But even if we'd eventually end up using a CMS, it very well could still be a good plan to use jekyll or mediawiki initially, while fleshing out the content.
