[SUGGESTION] Push latest doc to Flink website

[Henry Saputra]

Hi All,

I am thinking of pushing latest doc in master ((i.e the snapshot
build) to Flink website to help people follow the latest change and
development without manually build the doc.

I think some projects like Apache Tajo, Apache Twill, and AmpLab
Tachyon have this and so far I have seen it is helpful for new
contributors.

Thoughts?

We used to have this a couple of releases ago.

Thats indeed a great idea and we had support for that.

We also have already the infrastructure to do it in place, I just had not
enough time to figure out how ASF's buildbot works. (I know how it should
work theoretically but I haven't tried it)
This is the respective JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1370.

This is a must-have. I would like to take a look at the automatic doc
build infrastructure next week. Basically we have to write some
buildbot rules which issue a build and upload of the docs on a daily
basis.

The website should have the latest stable docs and the latest snapshot
docs. The snapshot docs need not be daily up to date for a start.

Definitely very helpful for users and developers.

Thanks for all the comments and replies. Seemed like positive Yes to the idea =)

As Stephan mentioned before, we could just manually push latest
snapshot doc to website manually and does not have to be updated daily
for a start.
I can take that action item and create JIRA to track the effort.
