We're about to enter the Beta stage of the book, where its HTML version will be made available on the WWW via the repository GHPages website — with a clear admonition regarding its Beta status, and a call for help to polish the translation before reaching v1.0.0.

Below is a checklist of all the things that need to be done before and after moving to the Beta stage.

  • GitHub Pages:
    • Configure repository to serve the website from the docs/ folder.
      • Add empty docs/.nojekyll file to enforce static website.
    • master branch — In order to use GitHub Pages, we'll need to publish the current book to the default branch (master).
      • We should stop using the alpha-dev branch, and create a new beta-dev branch for all PRs, which will be then merged into master — i.e. until we reach version 1.0.0 of the book. We shouldn't accept PRs directly on master.
  • Rake automation — all Bash and batch scripts should be dropped in favor of a Rakefile providing cross-platform tasks to achieve the same goals:
    • HTML Book — needs to build into the docs/ folder instead.
    • HTML Book Preview — build the HTML book (no URI-Data) in docs_src/, the HTML doc is then ignored by Git.
    • Git Hooks — installation and removal of the Git hooks become Rake tasks.
      • Delete old hooks script (preview doc is no longer tracked, (see Moving to Beta & Git Hooks #24).
      • If we decide to keep some hooks, then it should invoke the Rake task, not use its own Shell script, to avoid conflicting output due to different AsciiDoc options.
    • EClint — validation of the repository files should also become a Rake task, so we can use Ruby to exclude from the result files which are ignored by Git. Also, we might want to have two separate tasks:
      • Validate whole repository — for local validation.
      • Validate commit files — to validate commits before pushing or creating a PR. This task should be assigned to the Git pre-commit hook.
  • Update Docs:
    • Main README.md:
      • Add/fix badges:
        • Ruby v3.
        • Status Beta.
    • Add CONTRIBUTING.md — we'll need to provide some guidelines regarding the project standards, which branch to commit to, etc.

The above list is probably incomplete, and it will be updated as new pending chores come up during discussions and practical work. All suggestions are welcome.

GHPages Preparation
bfe2c4d 
Start preparing the repository to serve the HTML book via GHPages from
the `docs/` folder (see #22):

- The preview docs is now renamed to `GitBook_Preview.html` and ignored
  by Git, its Asciidoctor settings are adjusted to previewing.
- Add `docs/` folder with `.nojekyll` file.
- Delete Git hook scripts (see #24).
- Use Rake tasks to handle all builds:
    + `rake publish` to build `docs/GitBook.html` (tracked).
    + `rake preview` (default) to build HTML preview doc (ignored).
    + `rake all` to execute all tasks.
    + Delete old Asciidoctor build scripts.
- Update `docs_src/README.md`.

Beta Stage Active!

@SicroAtGit, development has now moved from alpha-dev to beta-dev, and the book can be previewed by GHPages:

Some of the above tasks have not yet been completed, but it's OK — I'll just move them to individual Issues to be dealt with in the Beta stage.
