A thread for questions/comments/discussion about a possible migration from Jekyll to Zola for rendering the EIPs/ERCs websites. See preprocessor/MIGRATION.md at master · eips-wg/preprocessor · GitHub for more details.
There’s a preview (that’s occasionally up to date) here: Ethereum Improvement Proposals
Is there any technical advantage to do this? Reading the linked page, nothing is really obvious, save the burden of having to learn another process. It ain’t broken, don’t fix it.
What is the reasoning behind the proposed migration?
Is there a proposed timeline?
The system we have now is fairly brittle, and doesn’t handle cross-repository linting at all. A ton of our automated checks have been turned off since the EIP/ERC split.
It’s mostly a placeholder for the time being. Nothing has been decided yet.
If all goes to plan, unless you’re building locally, the only change you’ll notice is the paths for links.
If you are building locally, I’ll have some better documentation before then.
No Editor is familiar with Ruby, and there are some serious structural issues with how our build works.
As for a timeline, nothing has been decided. We haven’t even agreed on going through with this.
As the champion of this endeavor, this discussion thread and pull request are mostly to get my ass in gear
