Platform Improvements
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the YaleSites platform will undergo security updates and comprehensive module enhancements. Our module updates will include a thorough cleanup of the ys_core module, removing unnecessary dependencies and improving its overall structure.
Additionally, we will be reorganizing our main YaleSites repository to facilitate easier collaboration with YaleSites developers, ensuring a more streamlined and efficient development process.
Improved Documentation
We’re expanding our documentation efforts to support contributors and site owners alike. We’ll address color palette logic, how to contribute and extend a theme, and explore the architectural reasons behind our shift from Paragraphs to Blocks.
Expanded Support for Publications, Research, and Referencing
Authors will be provided with a flexible way to manage and display bibliographic references, simplifying the process of organizing, displaying, and citing research and related materials. We’re also revisiting Profiles to better support the inclusion of publications and presentations.
Introducing Templates
Authors can now speed up the creation process by choosing from a selection of pre-designed page templates. Find a template that best matches your needs, drop in your content, and publish. We’ve also updated our documentation to explain how templates can be added and updated.
