Have one blog and website for GitLab

A unified open source website for GitLab

  • Everything on one site, only one blog to maintain
  • Blog integrated in the repo and index looking better
  • Technically based on Octopress (currently used by GitLab.org)
  • Look based on GitLab.com (twitter bootstrap)
  • Open source, people can send merge requests
  • New initial commit (so nobody can't read old commit messages)
  • Menu structure based on suggestions in https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/gitlabhq/issues/837#note_6476 Products (CE with all features/screenshots, EE with difference to CE, CI) Services (Subscription, Consultancy, Training, Cloud) Company (Blog, About Us, Jobs, Press, Terms, Contact) Community (Core Team, Documentation, Getting Help, Contributing) Sign-in
