It would look something like this:

That is a nice idea actually. @schteppe @rherlitz ?

I'm not sure what it would add really. We already host the stuff on http://code.gooengine.com...?

Having gh-pages as a branch of master serves multiple purposes:

  • Easily prove to users that the code runs in a browser and the project is testable with almost zero effort
  • Survive even if code.gooengine.com is down or unreachable
  • gh-pages is free, now that Goo is open source, why not reap the benefits that GitHub provides ?
  • Easy to update, just merge master into it again and push.
  • Some users expect or at least appreciate a github.io presence
  • It might add another input to Google.
  • Even if you decide not to advertise it, why not do it ? Is there any bad side to having that branch ?

I am with Ray on this one. We don't lose anything at all by having it. I guess maybe just the fact that we need to merge things into it on every release.

To add to this: If you google for GooJS, the GitHub page is already the top result.
The code.gooengine.com page is not even on the page...

PS: The gh-pages for the learn project is the third result ;-)
