Technical issues website set-up

[jens-daniel-mueller]

Issue created for technical questions that come up during set-up and maintenance.

[jens-daniel-mueller]

Why do we have people's details in people.md, that do not appear on the website? I don't see where they are out-commented or so...

[jens-daniel-mueller]

Can we delete the contributors of the repo/md-files, which are not part of RECCAP2?

[jens-daniel-mueller]

Will we continue to use the logo.png file, or switch to the logo used on slack and Niki's ppt template?

This has been commented. I've left the names of the RECON page there as examples. Though from what I've read this is not relevant at the moment.

This was just a mock logo. I think for now go with the logo that Niki suggested for the page. It already exists. Avoids having to make more time consuming decisions

I don't see why not? We could also "unfork" the repo, which might be worthwhile. Rather sooner than later. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16052477/delete-fork-dependency-of-a-github-repository

The unfork option seems to be a little work around. Also, I realized that "contributors" listed for individual files and "people" with editing rights for the account are a different thing. I propose we keep everything as is for now. This ackknowledges also the work by the RECON group and allows to trace them down.

Hi Luke,

among other small issues that I will take care of, Niki asked me to down-size the logo on each page of the website.

You once proposed to replace the RECCAP2-ocean text in the upper left corner of the side with a small version of the logo that links to index.md. This would be the perfect solution.

Would you know how to do it / be willing to do it? That would be very helpful, but I think we should not spend much time on it. If it's not easy to implement, I will just remove the logo from subpages.

Cheers
Jens

They key is to add the logo as an on this line:

RECCAP2-ocean.github.io/_includes/nav.html

Line 10 in 1dfc662

<a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ site.url }}">{{ site.title }}</a>

I will/have set up the basics, but I'll leave it to you to do the fine tuning :-)

Thanks, Luke, for shifting the logo to the navbar.
I changed the min size to 120 px to make it fully visible, and also switched to white text and frame to make it better visible against the dark navbar background color.
Unfortunately, the logo now appears only on the start/index site, while the place remains blank on all other subpages (link still work though).
Any idea how to make it appear on all subpages? Sorry for bothering with this stuff...
