Thanks, Jim - and Saivann for the original work.
Anyone who feels that their eyes are hurting looking at the site, please feel free to raise an Issue or fork the GitHub project (https://github.com/jim618/multibit-website). The Dropwizard work is on the dropwizard branch.
Once I get around to it, I'll pull out the Dropwizard specific content management work into its own project so people can apply it to their own projects. It's simple to host a Dropwizard project on Heroku for free (if you're a developer). Here's an article I wrote about it a while back: http://gary-rowe.com/agilestack/2012/10/09/how-to-deploy-a-dropwizard-project-to-heroku/.
Topic: MultiBit website rework: alpha at http://test.multibit.org (Read 760 times)
Gary has been working away at a new site layout for multibit.org.
It is now running (as alpha) on the multibit.org server here:
http://test.multibit.org/
The layout is based on one of the early bitcoin.org rework versions that Saivann Carignan very kindly let us reuse.
It is a lot easier to work with as it is using Dropwizard and the site is in a git repo. You just have to do a git push onto
the server and it rebuilds and redeploys it. There is still quite a lot to do on it before it becomes the live website but it is a big improvement. Thanks Gary !
