This is the source for the Apache Myriad site. The site is a Jekyll blog with [Material Design Lite] (http://www.getmdl.io/) for the look and feel.
The site static files are generated using Jekyll. Jekyll is a ruby gem that compiles markdown and templates into static HTML pages. To build the site, install Jekyll on your system as explained here.
Once Jekyll is installed, the site can be generated by running jekyll build from the website/ directory.
The static site files will be placed in website/_site
To test the site, run jekyll serve and open localhost:4000 in a browser.
The website files are stored in SVN at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/myriad/site
Once generated, copy the website/_site files into this svn repo and commit to svn.
The Apache infrastructure runs svnpubsub to sync this repo with the webserver serving http://myriad.incubator.apache.org
The Jekyll website is a great resource and you should read through it. For the impatient though, create a markdown file in website/_posts modeled after one already there. Then jekyll build and the new post will be linked on the front page and generated in the news page.
