Writing new content

Hugo is not needed to be installed in order to write a new meeting minutes.

Write the meeting minutes a markdown file under content/updates/*.md, commit, and create the pull request. A preview will then be generated on Netlify.

The meeting minutes should be written using template provided in archetypes/updates.md.

If you have Hugo installed, a new meeting minutes file can be created by typing on the command line:

hugo new content content/updates/newupdate.md

This will create the file under content/updates/newupdate.md, and you can continue editing it.

(replace "newupdate.md" with the desired filename.)

Updating the Meeting Attendee List

The list of attendees is pulled from the "members" field in the frontmatter. By default, it lists all members of the Python Docs Editorial Board. If a member did not attend the meeting, remove from this list.

Building the static site locally

First install Hugo.
Run the command at the root of the repository:

hugo server

Writing new changelog

Use the template in archetypes/changelog.md.

The file can also be created using the command:

hugo new content content/changelog/newchangelog.md

It will create a new file under content/changelog/newchangelog.md. (Replace "newchangelog.md" with the desired filename).
