Data located in: /source/_posts folder
Chronicles page aggregates latest news about major releases, development, interviews, related projects of Fediverse social networks (i.e., all the networks listed on main page).
Posts are available via RSS subscription.
Preview is rendered on Chronicles page (limited ammount), text after metadata is shown in RSS (unlimited) and on post's page (see Tags ).
Every post must have the following metadata:
layout: "post"
title: "some title"
date: 2222-01-25
tags:
- pleroma
preview:
"short gist..."
url: "https://pleroma.social/link-to-news-source"
lang: en
Tags
A post may have one of these tags: fediverse, gnusocial, diaspora, friendica, hubzilla, mastodon, postactiv, pleroma, socialhome, ganggo, misskey, peertube, osada
Preview
Limit 150 characters - for "regular" and "wanted" posts, limit 350 characters - for "featured" post.
Please, stay within the limits in preview, otherwise it gets truncated half-sentence and will be posted that way on the Chronicles front page. Not good.
Optional metadata:
wanted: true
featured: true
banner: "pic.jpg"
authors: [{"name": "John Snow", "url": "https://ggg.social", "network": "socialhome"}]
Wanted
Add this metadata to a post that you wish to show in the upper visible part of the Chronicles page. Calls for contribution, donations, help should be posted with this metadata.
Featured
Add this metadata to a new internal website's article, to show the post in a prominent part of the Chronicles page.
Wanted and featured can't be mixed and are temporary. This metadata must be removed from an older post when creating a new "featured" or "wanted" post.
Banner
Required for "featured" posts only, an image wide enough to be used as a fullscreen background, should be placed in /source/_posts/exact-post-file-name folder. See example.
Authors
Required for "featured" posts only. Add an array of object(s): name you wish to be shown as the author, and one website link. If it's the link to yout account on Fediverse, specify network name - lower case, without spaces.
Writing internal article
Each new internal article will be posted as "featured" in the prominent part of the Chronicles page, and will stay there for a while. It will also be distributed via RSS subscription. Your name will be featured as the author(s).
A merge request with an article will include all the things mentioned above for a featured post: a file placed in /source/_posts folder with necessary metadata, a 350-character preview and full text after metadata section, written in markdown. A banner image should be added to /source/_posts/exact-post-file-name folder that you'll create. Any other images used in the article may be placed there as well.
Thanks!
