Description
GitLab 13.5 kickoff for the Static Site Editor group
Planning issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/create-stage/-/issues/12744
A
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
eric
scherter
and
I'm
the
product
manager
for
the
static
site,
editor
group,
which
is
part
of
the
create
stage
of
the
devops
lifecycle
here
at
gitlab,
and
I
want
to
talk
to
you
today
about
some
of
the
great
work
we
have
planned
for
the
13.5
milestone
I'll
link
to
the
planning
issue
here,
which
has
a
list
of
everything
we
intend
to
deliver.
We
have
some
some
really
nice
iterations
on
the
static
site.
A
Editor
feature
set
as
well
as
a
few
new
features
that
we're
looking
to
introduce
we'll
be
doing
some
work.
Some
continued
work
on
the
get
lab
handbook
as
we
look
to
migrate
it
towards
frontman
as
a
replacement
for
the
static
site
generator
and
we've
also
got
some
work
slated
for
the
gitlab
documentation
site.
So
I
want
to
highlight
a
few
things
specifically
with
the
static
site.
A
So
we
built
this
out
and
we
have
it
working
mostly
behind
a
feature
flag
right
now,
but
there
was
one
last
thing
that
we
identified
as
a
blocker
for
for
rolling
this
out
and
marking
it
as
complete,
and
that
was
the
ability
to
configure
where,
in
the
project
that
uploaded
asset
gets
stored,
once
you
submit
the
mr,
so.
A
A
It
can't
currently
render
any
images
that
are
linked
with
relative
urls,
so
it
only
will
show
absolute
links
to
images
that
are
that
are
already
hosted
somewhere
and
in
the
process
of
architecting.
This
we've
actually
added
the
ability
to
to
render
images
that
are
that
are
linked
with
relative
urls
within
the
project
itself.
A
The
next
one
we
intend
to
ship
in
13.5
is
one
I've
talked
about
before,
but
the
ability
to
embed
a
youtube
video
using
the
static
site
editor.
This
just
got
reprioritized,
as
we
found
some
some
more
important,
formatting
errors
that
and
bugs
that
were
related
to
the
handbook.
Rollout
as
the
static
site.
A
Editor
became
available
across
the
entire
gitlab
handbook,
but
we're
looking
to
ship
this
in
13.5
and
really
what
this
is
is
just
it's
going
to
be
a
button
in
the
formatting
bar
that
allows
you
to
paste
just
a
youtube
link
and
then
we'll
generate
the
properly
formatted
iframe
wrapper
and
figure
class,
so
that,
within
the
context
of
the
handbook,
you
have
a
lot
less
code
to
copy
and
paste
or
remember
how
it
should
be
formatted.
A
So
this
would
be
a
really
nice
convenience.
The
handbook
makes
great
use
of
youtube
video
links
and
embeds,
and
this
will
just
ensure
that
everything's
formatted
perfectly
and
you
just
have
to
paste
the
video
link
in-
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
is
again
based
on
some
feedback
from
our
rollout
to
the
handbook.
A
But
what
we
have
done
is
we've
removed
some
critical
steps
in
providing
context
and
transparency
to
your
to
your
edits,
so
we're
going
to
introduce
the
ability
to
provide
an
optional
title
and
description
with
your
changes
as
you
create
a
merge
request
from
the
static
site
editor,
and
this
would
allow
you
to
follow
best
practices
and
provide
that
detail
for
your
merge
request
right
from
the
static
site.
Editor
editor,
rather
than
having
to
follow
the
link
and
go
back
over
to
the
the
merge
request
after
it's
been
created
and
edit
it
there.
A
So
this
is
we're
really
looking
forward
to
streamlining
the
process
and
making
it
so
that
the
static
site
editor
can
be
a
a
really
viable
part
of
the
workflow
here
at
gitlab,
where
this
is.
This
is
something
we
take
very
seriously
as
far
as
providing
context
within
the
changes
we
make
to
the
handbook,
and
that's
about
all
I
had
to
cover.
