Hey,
Let me tell you a little story - once there was the amazing Dconf
at the beginning of this month (4-6.5).
We put a notice about it on dlang.org "DConf 2016 is coming up:
May 4-6 in Berlin, Germany. Secure your seat before it's sold
out!".
It took two weeks, but finally karthikeyan had the time to shout
and report the outdated message [1].
The PR was merged subsequentially quite fast, but this was more
than a weeek ago and we still have the annoucement about DConf on
our landing page.
I talked with CyberShadow a bit, because setting up a CI and
deploying the website automatically on a merge doesn't seem
difficult and to quote him the main problem is approval:
> We already have
> http://wiki.dlang.org/User:Vladimir_Panteleev/Website_staging
> so it's not a matter of implementation, just everyone agreeing
> that it's what we want to do
Imho it makes a lot of sense to do this, because showing such
horribly (>=more than three weeks) outdated news on dlang.org
makes a terrible impression and merging something should be the
approval, not the huge latency of our dlang.org maintainer (no
offense).
If you are against this automatic deployment or want to do it
manually yourself, please shout now.
