Open Review Initiative Website

Source for openreviewinitiative.org, the website of the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) Open Review Initiative (ORI).

The site is built with Hugo using the hugo-universal-theme, and deployed to GitHub Pages automatically on every push to main.

Repository layout

Path	Purpose
hugo.toml	Site configuration: menus, footer copyright, section toggles
content/_index.md	Front-page content sections
data/features/*.yaml	The feature tiles (OpenRV, xSTUDIO, RPA, encoding guidelines, …)
data/carousel/*.yaml	Carousel slides
layouts/	Site-level template overrides (carousel, video, cookie-consent script)
static/	Site assets served as-is (img/ logos and media, css/ custom styles)
themes/hugo-universal-theme/	Vendored theme (do not edit; override via layouts/)
.github/workflows/hugo.yml	CI: builds the site and deploys public/ to GitHub Pages

Editing the site

Most content changes need no HTML:

• Feature tiles — edit or add a YAML file in data/features/. Each file has a name, icon, url, description, and weight (display order).
• Front-page text — edit content/_index.md.
• Menus, footer, section toggles — edit hugo.toml.
• Images / video — add files under static/img/ and reference them as /img/<name>.

To change page structure, copy the relevant template from themes/hugo-universal-theme/layouts/ into layouts/ and edit the copy — Hugo prefers site-level templates over theme templates of the same name.

Previewing locally

Install Hugo extended (the site is authored against v0.147.8), then:

hugo server

and open http://localhost:1313/. The build output directory (public/) is generated by CI and must not be committed.

Deployment

Merging to main triggers .github/workflows/hugo.yml, which builds the site with the production baseURL (https://openreviewinitiative.org/) and publishes it to GitHub Pages. Pull requests run the build step only, as a validation check.
