gonum/website

updated website for gonum.org

website's Issues

Getting started section out of date

I'm new to go, thought gonum was interesting and wanted to try it. I followed the instructions on the intro website on how to get started and how to download the libraries.
The first command go get -u -t gonum.org/v1/gonum/... seemed to download something but I obtained this deprecation message:

go get: installing executables with 'go get' in module mode is deprecated.
        Use 'go install pkg@version' instead.
        For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
        or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

So I'm not sure if it was installed correctly. Tried a bit if I could find the correct go install command but didn't succeed. The second command to run the tests go test gonum.org/v1/... failed with go: warning: "gonum.org/v1/..." matched no packages.

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

Additional information.

I run macOS and installed go using mac ports.
go version go1.17.7 darwin/amd64

LICENSE: consider licensing material on website under CC license

Currently we essentially don't license any material on the website. The BSD license is not really right for prose, so the closest license is probably CC-BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)

Are the current authors OK with that?

consider renaming new-website into website

and rename+archive website into old-website?

(once we push the big red button of the migration)

Getting started link broken

Hyperlink takes to a 404 instead of the main post.

gonum.org/v1/gonum doesn't take you anywhere useful

At the moment if I visit the import path gonum.org/v1/gonum in the browser, it doesn't go anywhere useful.

It goes to a 404 pages which suggest a few things, but none of them point me to the git repository, for example.

gonum.org does not serve go modules

I am not sure if this is the right place to post an issue, I tried to post a message to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gonum-dev , it failed since I am not authorized to post.

go get -u -t gonum.org/v1/gonum/...

fails, because gonum.org web site does not serve go modules anymore. All projects that depend on gonum.org fail to compile in CI environments with a root cause:

Parsing meta tags from https://gonum.org/v1/netlib?go-get=1 (status code 404)

It worked fine 2 days ago. Can you please fix the gonum.org web site?

There is a workaround in
influxdata/chronograf#5520 , but it is IMHO not a good solution.

Consider licensing website content under CC license

The BSD-3-Clause is not quite right for posts and talks etc. How do people feel about licensing the content of the site under a CC license? The most similar to BSD-3 for this context by be CC-BY-SA.
