We should set a license here soon as long as the list of people we have to get approval from stays short. I'd suggest BY-NC-SA. Before, we probably have to get rid of the images that can't be published under such license.
At the moment the addons page does not render the embedded images of the mqtt readme.
See https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/tree/master/bundles/org.openhab.binding.mqtt.generic
Without a background the openHAB logo has hardly readable in dark browser themes. @ghys You can use https://realfavicongenerator.net/ to generate and check favicons for all needs.
I question if it makes sense to list the OH1 actions (https://www.openhab.org/addons/#action) on the Add-ons page ("Show legacy add-ons" is off). Some of the listed actions have a OH2 successor already like the for Kodi, MQTT, Astro, Homeatic, DSC, Harmany. Some are just rather strange like Weather, xLP.
Those listed ones should be removed in any way. What remains are notification services and protocols like XMPP, Mail, PushBullet, Pushover, Pushsafer, Prowl, Twitter. I wonder if the category can be renamed to use the word "Actions" for the new automation engines actions.
The service Sen.se is discontinued.
Related pages should be removed.
Exemple of reference: https://appmyhome.com/our-mother-has-gone-offline/
The current installation page:
https://www.openhab.org/download/
Currently mentions Chocolatey as the first installation option.
However this package in it's current form should not be used:
It installs all bindings and UI's by default.
Some of these bindings also give error's when running on WIndows.
Recommended solutions:
A. Remove the Chocolatey procedure from the downloads page
B. Fix the package to not install all bindings by default.

In the community, we repeatedly discussed the concept of a "roadmap" (e.g. here). Many people would like to see an overview of "most wanted" featured and also about upcoming features for the next version. I want to clearly state that, of course, nobody can enforce or guarantee any progress on certain issues within a specified time (so please, let's exclude this discussion here).
But it clearly would help to bring focus on topics that many people are interested in. An issue that already interests many people, will likely also be a point of interest for others who didn't saw the issue yet. The average user is not expert of the openHAB architecture, so he don't know which repositories exist, where too look, how to filter, and so on. For those people (and I'm sure also for technical users) it would be cool to have two dynamic inline overviews on the website:
Most wanted features
Query for all open issues and PRs, descending by +1 reactions / upvotes:
Both queries could be aggregated / merged using the search api.
Upcoming features
Here we would have merged PRs since the last release, preferably also ordered descending by +1 reactions. For filtering the right PRs, probably the same criteria can be used like for @BClark09's changelog: https://gist.github.com/BClark09/6f13345f0a7f38482b444b47c397a1b4
Voting: Currently, the built-in GitHub vote mechanisms are not used so often, and they're also not used consistently. It would be good to give hands-on advice on the website how to vote for an issue or (even better) use some GitHub integration / API to make it possible directly voting for an issue / PR on the website.
In the new documentation, the link to the classic icons takes you back to the main openhab.org page. This link went missing.

Hi all,
In the past we had a function embedded in our vscode extension, which opens a browser with a prefilles docs search url.
Is this possible with algolia too, or can we accomplish this in another way?
As a result of the GDPR, there have been discussions, especially in Germany whether it is allowed to download fonts from Google without asking or informing the user before the fonts are loaded ...
In order to avoid any problems with the fonts, we could load the fonts from openhab.org. There is a nice tool on https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts that helps with downloading the necessary fonts files from Google Fonts.
I have tried it for my own website and it worked smoothly.
At the moment the community forum API cannot be accessed form a client (browser) app directly.
Would it be viable to add the required CORS headers for access? A rate limit can of course be applied.
Hi @openhab/foundation-staff! The status page isn't available through either
http://status.openhab.org/ or https://status.openhab.org/
On the HTTP site it shows:

It would be cool if we could show the next 2-4 upcoming events directly on the start page (best case: without scrolling).
Just noticed that searching the docs for "Profile" does not deliver the link where this new concept is explained. Using the search function, I was expecting to find this link: https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/items.html#profiles
However, this link was not returned by the search, see screenshot below:
On the icons page, the icons are no longer displayed.
The search seems to return broken duplicates for "Developer Guide".
Search for "code":
Search for "sign":
This was transfered from openhab/openhab-docs#823:
It would also be nice to link in addons(https://www.openhab.org/addons/) in the left hand meny at:
https://www.openhab.org/docs/ and not just at the top.

At night the website (especially documentation) can be blinding to the eyes. Maybe we can also support dark mode?
Such a user preference can be detected using the prefers-color-scheme user preference media query. Detection is currently supported by ~76% of all browsers used world wide (see caniuse). For some examples see also MDN.

picoTTS is a recent addition to the voice add-ons. I triggered the gather-external-docs build and see it being part of the final branch in openhab-docs. Still, it does not turn up on the website.
@ghys Can you give me a hint what still needs to be done here?
Until now, we always had the docs on the "latest" setting as default, which meant we where even to the snapshot builds.
With OH 3 in back, we should think about making the 2.5.0 docs version default for the upcoming year.

Wdyt?
When you scroll down the opening page there is a reference to ESH that needs an update because of the fork and ESH no longer being actively maintained:

Hi,
Is it possible to add anchors and hashed urls that open the downlad page with a specific tab?
Something like https://www.openhab.org/download/#linux
or https://www.openhab.org/download/#windows_snapshot
or
https://www.openhab.org/download/#windows_stable
.
Which could be set on the corresponding buttons of the download page.
We could then replace links on the docs installation pages with simple and easy maintanable direct links.
Wdyt?
Hi,
Is it possible to add tabs in the standard theme?
I would love to have to ability to save rule examples in more than one rule language we support.
This was my idea of how it could look:
Would be very nice, if this would work in theory.
If yes, we would have to find a way to reflect this in our markdown files, but i will start thinking about it when i have an answer here.
Doesn't make sense to do so, when it isn't possible with vuepress.
The lack of full-text search has been brought up several times, for instance in #28, and is a valid point.
VuePress has built-in support for Algolia DocSearch which offers that and presumably better search results, for free. It's already used in a number of high-profile websites.
See it in action of a similar VuePress site here: https://www.vuemeetups.org
Using it instead of the default header-based search is easy and it makes sense to consider it.
What do you think, should we at least give it a try?
Hi @ghys - I absolutely love the new website! Well done!
The previous openHAB documentation had a feature I used very often - a full text search page. (See openhab/openhab-docs#150 for reference)
Current implementation of website's search input is rather a quick "jump to content" field.
Would be worth adding a separate search results page.
Note that the current docs search engine is incorporated in VSCode extension as well :-)
Best regards,
Kuba
This decision is open for discussion. openHAB is the most liked home automation software on AlternativeTo.net. Users looking for a solution will tend to compare different solutions via online search and most likely end up on AlternativeTo.
I wonder if the website should feature a widget. Wdyt?
Very often, I want to link to a specific section in the docs, such as e.g. https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/windows.html#connecting-to-the-openhab-console.
But when selecting this anchor, the browser directly changes its url to https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/windows.html#starting-openhab-as-a-service (which is the section that has a menu entry on the left).
When I now copy&paste the url, I very often do not notice it and thus have the wrong url posted.
Is there any way to keep the anchor in the url in place for such cases?
Since last deployment, the new MQTT binding from ESH has been imported:
https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt/
And this has automatically superseded the former 1.x binding, which doesn't appear in lists and the sidebar anymore (unless "show legacy bindings" is checked):
https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt1/
I'm not sure it's correct.
Also, the "edit link" page is wrong - it thinks it's an openHAB 2 binding; the reason is because it doesn't appear yet in https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/blob/master/features/addons-esh/src/main/feature/feature.xml which is used to determine which bindings are from ESH.
Today is June 5 and both events "building IoT 2018" as well as "SINTEG-Jahreskonferenz 2018" are already listed as "past events" (and thus do not show up on the homepage anymore), although both events end tomorrow evening only.
My expectation therefore is that they are only considered "past" from June 7 onwards.
We need anchors to be able to jump directly to an add-on group.
I am currently working on some linkchecker errors and i have dozens of links replaced with just "addons.html".
This doesn't help anyone if we aren't able to point to a specific addon section.
The current assumption is that every subdirectory in the _addons_*
directories of the docs' final branch are actual add-ons.
READMEs were recently added to some bundles: transport.modbus, transport.feed, webaudio...
but these shouldn't appear in the end user documentation since they are not add-ons.
Besides, the first two don't respect the convention that an addon should only have a .
in its name if it's a sub-addon - the build script therefore assumes that a transport
add-on exists and breaks.
We should find a way to properly exclude bundles with READMEs but are not addons from the docs.
Currently buried in the commit message for 13d2869.
This will solve some issues and allow easier maintenance.
I have this in mind:
Spin up a second netlify for doc.openhab.org (Change the DNS CName of the openhab.org domain accordingly)
The documentation repo build instructions will clone the website repo (for the styling and vuepress stuff). This makes the docu team independent of the website build cycle. And we can add whatever we need on the docu side to vuepress for better documentation.
Let the addon repos generate a summery off all bindings and docs etc on each master push and let us upload that artifact to bintray (move the responsibility to us OH2-addons maintainers to serve that file instead of the docu or website team to crawl us).
Whenever the website is build (cron triggered once a day is best I guess) it collects the bintray artifact, moves the included markdown files to the correct position and uses the bundled json or whatever metadata for whatever else need to be done.
Images could be compressed to improve loading times of the website. There's a handy GitHub bot for that: https://github.com/marketplace/imgbot
I added it to my personal fork of this repo: https://github.com/mueller-ma/website/pull/1
For new users it's not always clear how to install add-ons.
Perhaps we can show generated installation instructions on the documentation page of each add-on?
It could for instance instruct how to install an add-on using:
That way we won't have to add this information to the documentation of each add-on (https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/3162).
This is for example an issue on the Units Of Measurement concepts page when clicking
"Edit this page on GitHub" at the bottom of the page.
The link opens:
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/edit/master/docs/documentation/concepts/units-of-measurement.md
It looks like that content was already migrated in openhab/openhab-docs#890?
Just checked https://www.openhab.org/about/events.html and found the past events showing events from August, October, June (in that order). Would be nice to have them sorted by date (latest on top, oldest at bottom).
Hey, I'm totally aware that the whole page is far from done and you've done a tremendous job so far. Just in case you were not aware yet, the blog (an area I especially wanted for the new page) does not yet offer an RSS/Atom feed. No stress ;)
Steps to reproduce:
Expected result:
https://www.openhab.org/docs/concepts/units-of-measurement.html should be accessible
Actual result:
It's not ๐
Cheers
The binding xsd point to eclipse smarthome. With the move of ESH to openHAB-core these schemas should also be updated I think.
I assume these should be put here on the website? What would be the desired location (So I can create a PR)? And is the list below complete?
I could find the following schemas:
