Hey, a couple of thoughts on the podman.io blog issue brought up during the
last Podman community cabal call (
https://podman.io/community/meeting/notes/2021-11-18/) -
Summary: Podman has a need for a low-overhead of posting blog posts; the
current system involves other websites and platforms and is process-heavy.
(Hopefully this is an accurate summary, lmk if not.)
- One option would be to use wordpress which has a post-by-email
feature... you have to keep the email you send the posts to secret / only
share w people authorized to post / otherwise there is no overhead /
process to getting posts live. Appears it may be possible to then import
the wordpress RSS feed into the existing jekyll site with smtg like this

- Other option (perhaps better) - use antora instead of jekyll. GitHub
pages supports antora, it lets you have a site generated from multi-repos,
believe it would enable stuff like taking snippets from the podman repo's
docs and pulling into the website in a diff repo. Could create another repo
just for informal blog content, give everyone you'd ever want to post a
blog full commit access just to that repo, antora can read in from that and
use it to generate blog posts on website (and authors wouldn't need commit
access to website)
Relevant links:

- Antora multi-repo functionality

My experience is with Jekyll and not Antora but I am currently playing
around with Antora to see if I can get a multi-repo proof-of-concept
together. If someone more technically ept would like to help, let me know
:) I am @duffy:fedora.im on Matrix and in the Podman channel!
