reactivex.github.io needs a new administrator

[DavidMGross]

I'm no longer able to devote time to maintaining the reactivex.github.io site and its associated ReactiveX repo. There are some outstanding PRs that need review/merging, but in general there hasn't been a whole lot of activity there over the past months, so this is probably not a particularly demanding position.

Can you explain a bit more?

@DavidMGross do you need help with that yet?

[t10-13rocket]

@DavidMGross Yes, I need help.

Would you still need a hand on maintaining the website? It hasn't received any care in about 3 years. @akarnokd

It would be great but the task is not for drive-by contributors. It needs knowledge of that build system, probably a Mac/Linux computer and dedication.

Probably the best would be to recreate the site in plain HTML directly so no need for any special infrastructure.

I built the site successfully on my Windows machine, and I have good experience with SSGs, primarily Zola, so I should be able to handle this task. I can try my best to keep it up to date, which should be better than it not being maintained for 3 years.

This might be a more long-term task given the site's complexity that I can try, and I am open to further discussion on this.

Alright, let's see. I've merged a couple of trivial PRs. Could you build the site and post a PR against the master branch?

[akarnokd]

Okay, figured out most of the infrastructure so I'll be able to maintain reactivex.github.io

Already merged and deployed most outstanding PRs.

[meenbeese]

Okay then, glad to help if anything pops up or if you change your mind on your willingness to maintain the website. I might also create some PRs if I see anything incomplete/wrong.
