Publish index page

Update www pages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a new index page for docs.openstack.org, at
`openstack-manuals/www/RELEASENAME/index.html`, copying the existing page
for the current release, with updated release name and date. Add the new page
to the list in `openstack-manuals/www/www-index.html`. This patch should have
a core -2 review on it until it is ready to be published. This should happen
about a week before release day, sending the page live, but should remain
unlinked until the last moment. This is to allow the release team to link
to the new page.
Make the following changes in the **openstack-manuals** repository:
#. Create the docs.openstack.org index page for the new release, using the
existing page as a template:
- ``/www/RELEASE/index.html``
#. Create the project-install-guide index pages for the new release, using the
existing pages as templates:
- ``/www/project-install-guide/RELEASE/index.html``
- ``/www/project-install-guide/RELEASE/obs-services.html``
- ``/www/project-install-guide/RELEASE/rdo-services.html``
- ``/www/project-install-guide/RELEASE/ubuntu-services.html``
#. Create the ``project-deploy-guide`` index for the new release, using the
existing page as a template:
- ``/www/project-deploy-guide/RELEASE/index.html``
#. Add the new pages to the list in ``/www/www-index.html``.

#. Update the site redirects. Merge this patch on release day:
- ``/www/static/.htaccess``
#. Update the *Get started* links. Do not merge this patch until after the
links are active:
- ``/doc/common/get-started-with-openstack.rst``
Update links in all books

Every book maintained by OpenStack Manuals will need to be checked for
links referencing the old release. Do one patch per book, record the review
number in the release etherpad so that release managers can review easily.
For versioned books, these patches should have a core -2 review on them until
they are ready to be published at release time. For continuously released
books, these patches can be merged immediately.

Change the front page so the new release is the default, by synchronising
`openstack-manuals/www/RELEASENAME/index.html`, which you created earlier,

have the same content. You will also need to update the release version in the

docs.openstack.org using the ``sitemap`` script in the **openstack-doc-tools**
repository. Copy the `sitemap.xml` file into the `www/static` directory in
the **openstack-manuals** repository and commit the change.
