Thatās an interesting proposition, and Iāve been looking into it for a while, it remains something of a niche although I really appreciate the integration of issue tracking and so on within the system. But as @aschrijver mentioned, weāre kind of bound to Git these
days.
Understandable. I donāt especially like it but the consensus is there among the vast majority of devs.
As a matter of curiosity, how do you fare with Git with regard to blindness?
Git itself is fineāother than issues that are largely unrelated to blindness. There can be some problem with the web interface to repos (github, gitlab, and company). In that regard, it varies.
And do you have specific preferences for static site generators that are more accessible than others?
Iād say that depends a lot on the themes used. I have experience with Pelican as an example of a site generator that produces accessible results. Incidentally it has fair support for i18n as well.
I think we should take A11y into account seriously. This is part of the Fediverse etiquette to take time and make alternative text available for pictures, so I suggest we take the same care for revamping the ActivityPub-related sites.
Youāre welcome to steer this work in the right direction @modulux since you may see things we cannot.
Just got a message from Christine Lemmer-Webber from the same thread:
Iād love to see ap.rocks maintained in its Haunt form. Iām not so sure
weāre going to see it happen. Itās more important that it continues and
survives I suppose, ultimatelyā¦ and the people maintaining it will
have to make the decisions on what tools they want to use.
But I will hands-down say that Haunt was an EXCELLENT environment for
writing ap.rocks. The implementation guide page especially is a great
demonstration of Hauntās power:
Pretty cool, yeah? Well, I thought soā¦ I canāt imagine doing anything
like that as easily in any of the other static site generators Iāve
used.
Which was autogenerated from reports that used the AP test suite (also
Guile based, and sadly long downā¦ though someoneās been working on
reviving (and rewriting) itā¦)
Haunt treats a website as a program and its output as evaluating that
program. That combined with sxml is a really cool environment. Most of
the rest of the world hasnāt realized as such I guess. Oh wellā¦
when I made suggestions for me to manage and fumble using Haunt, that I had already looked under the hood and examined such content publishing mechanics.
I think we need to make it clear that this does not depend on a domain name where we have no control of. Iāve been asking @cwebber for DNS configuration control over this domain for a long time, and every time I have met silence.
The issue I have put forth is that if we have a website on a domain, and email on another, then Gaggle will refuse to deliver email, plain and simple. If you are a GMail user, you probably did not receive any notification from this forum in a couple of months.
@dansup has a number of nice domains that could be used instead of activitypub.rocks if @cwebber keeps failing to take a long-term decision about community governance. This is why I want us all to think about establishing a non-profit.
