Description

We need a papers/publications page on the main website, as people are starting to look for our paper, … and generally not finding it unless they've got a link/reference from us.

The content of the page is easy, right now it should contain a single entry:

Roberto Di Cosmo, Stefano Zacchiroli. Software Heritage: Why and How to Preserve Software Source Code. In Proceedings of iPRES 2017: 14th International Conference on Digital Preservation, Kyoto, Japan, September 2017, 10 pages

and link to the PDF.

The placement of the page is harder, because we don't have an obvious page in the navigation bar.
My proposal is to unify the current "People" and "Contact" top-level menus into an "About" menu, with 4 entries, in the following order: "Team", "Work with us", "Publications" (or "Papers"), and "Contact".

Please share this suggestion with Fred Weill too, he is working on the new
design for the website and is not tacking tasks on the forge.

can we first check if we agree on the proposal above between us?
then, sure, @anlambert can get Fred in the loop before implementing this

I'm currently on it. The top menu reorganization looks good to me. I found a nice WP plugin to easily include citations with automatic BixTex entry generation and links to paper pdf.

Done, see https://www.softwareheritage.org/publications/

I spent the morning testing WP plugins for managing publications and in my opinion the best one is teachPress.
It is heavily maintained, has a lot of features, can be customized to everyone needs and offers a nice interface for importing publications metadata from BibTex files or entries.
The management of already imported publications data is also really easy.
Nevertheless, I had to create a new publication list template as the default font size was too small compared to the overall SWH website design.
