I can’t agree more, it really should sit within Kitware and we must keep the name. We need to check if the static pages in the site folder will work, but they should. Bill did move to GitLab for some reason relating to building the web pages for the site. It may have been because he initially used gh-pages and the page layout flexibility wasn’t present in GitLab at that time. However I can’t see any issues when looking at the mkdocs documentation.
The main issue is that at present when committing to VTKEx, the VTKExamples mirror I keep getting prompted for my Kitware, (not GitLab) username and password. I’m not doing something right wrt to Bill’s LFS repository which for some reason looks to be empty see VTKExamplesLFS. Anyway it is something to be looked at later as I have all the files.
I think that there could be two approaches here:
- Contact GitHub and see if they can put in a redirect.
- I could try to modify the site folder contents to do this.
However we would need a fully functioning alternate site before doing this!
