Ideas

  • What about a mailing list, rather than sending emails to 20 people? -- Tgodef 05:50, 15 July 2014 (EDT)
  • Having "3 copies of everything" (6 copies of the footer, in fact) is both inefficient and error-prone (I caught quite a few discrepancies between the common parts of the 3 main pages, including in the markup). Why not split the text into common and page-specific pieces as the German team does (see ..../enc/de/)? Modification and translation would be done on pieces, not whole pages. -- Tgodef 07:22, 15 July 2014 (EDT)
  • I tried to make templates for the 6 pages and includes for the common parts. Assembly is done by 2 script named "assemble-page" and "assemble-all-pages" (self-explanatory). Some day the webmasters may decide to use Apache for this. The result is in the French kitchen (..../enc/fr/kitchen, commit of 2014-07-16). There are 7 includes. Getting rid of the remaining repetitive parts with other includes might be counterproductive.
  1. head (2 versions with different keywords)
  2. translist.html
  3. fsf-intro.html
  4. step-1a.html
  5. common-sections.html (sections 2 to 6 + commented-out FAQ)
  6. footer.html (the footer div only)
  7. javascript.html (it probably won't be modified and shouldn't be wrapped; that's why I separated it from the footer) -- Tgodef 12:57, 15 July 2014 (EDT) -- edit Tgodef 10:29, 17 July 2014 (EDT)
  • Another possibility is to have a single template for the 3 main pages, and only 4 includes: head.html, translist.html, footer.html and javascript.html. The variable parts have specific deletion markers; each page is created by deleting the irrelevant parts (see .../enc/fr/kitchen, commits > 2014-07-17). -- Tgodef 04:14, 16 July 2014 (EDT) -- edit Tgodef 10:29, 17 July 2014 (EDT)
