Обсуждение: Weekly news online?

People,

Did we ever figure out a place to put the weekly news on the website?

Yes, the directory was even created on the old site. I think the problem
is more one of getting someone to markup the text every week.

Hmmm .... that should be easy.   Attached for this week.

Of course, marking up the archive would require automated scripts, much more
difficult.    Any perl hacker volunteers?

The other issue was needing someone to write a bit so we can link to the
"latest" weekly news automagically.

Added at http://pgweb.pgadmin.org/community/weeklynews (will hit the
main site soon)

Please note that I modified the title of the article you submitted
slightly (for style consistency with the rest of the site):

<!-- BEGIN page_title_block -->
Weekly News - January 28th 2005
<!-- END page_title_block -->

<h1>Weekly News - January 28th 2005</h1>

Regards, Dave.

Have a look at this utility:

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

I've been using it for a couple of months now, and have fallen in love with
it as a way of writing web pages.  Basically, you write as if you were
writing an E-Mail, and it does the markup.  For this application, it would
be perfect, since we *are* writing E-Mails.

(It's even BSD licensed.)

We'd probably need to do a bit of work on the archives to make it fit, but
it shouldn't be bad, and my Perl would probably be up to the task if we
want to take that route.

This doesn't seem like it should be all that hard -- if the files are all
named something like weekly_news-2005-01-31.html, we just need to sort and
take the first/last one.  I won't be of much help if it needs to be done in
PHP, but it seems like it would be a trivial shell script.

Hope this helps.

Also, on the main site I'm getting a directory access forbidden.

Err, yeah sorry - that's my test tree, I was playing earlier and must
have left that in.

Scroll down and you'll see it, but it is on wwwmaster as well now:
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/community/weeklynews

Drat - fixed in CVS now. The framework can be a bit finickity about
links that don't have trailing slashes. For those that are interested,
the weeklynews index and directory actually look like

template/en/community/weeklynews.html (Index page)
template/en/community/weeklynews/     (Directory containing news pages)

The links to the index page *must* include the trailing /, otherwise the
static site spider will not correctly build
/community/weeklynews/index.html which is what ends up on the mirrors.
Pages that do not have a corresponding directory are linked *without*
the trailing / (eg. /community/irc).

Regards, Dave.
