| description: 'Announcement about the relaunch of the Forwards website.' | ||
| draft: true | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| It's been long time since we updated the Forwards website. At some point our | ||
| continuous integration workflow stopped working and we didn't have time to fix | ||
| it. Moreover, we wanted to take the opportunity to update to newer tools and | ||
| processes, to make the website easy maintain. This was a bigger task, but | ||
| we're happy to say that we've now updated from blogdown plus a convoluted | ||
| Travis CI workflow, to Quarto plus a GitHub actions workflow. | ||
|
|
||
| We have simplified the organization of posts, so that they are group by year | ||
| rather than the full date of publication, which caused editing headaches when | ||
| collaborating on a blog post over several days or weeks. This has changed the | ||
| URL of blog posts, but rest assured we have added aliases so old links | ||
| should still work. | ||
|
|
||
| Despite the lack of blog posts, the Forwards taskforce has remained active! | ||
| We've updated the news section on our homepage, which captures some of the | ||
| main activities in the past few years. For a fuller account of the missing | ||
| years you can check out the news column of the R Journal | ||

||
| We plan to round up news from 2023 in volume 4 of the R Journal. | ||
|
|
||
| Beyond that we hope to post here more regular in the coming months! | ||
