on /partners/ drafts

[Simon Paillard]

Hi Andre,

andremachado-guest * english/partners/money_donors.wml: initial money donors draft
andremachado-guest * english/partners/index.include: initial money donors draft
andremachado-guest * english/debian.css: color and border correction for partners table headers
martinag-guest     * swedish/partners/money_donors.wml: Initial translation. Quite unnecessary, but it's a start when the list begins to fill.
andremachado-guest * english/partners/money_donors.wml: notice about draft status. Debian Financial partners retitle
andremachado-guest * english/partners/financial_partners.wml: new Debian Financial Partners naming
andremachado-guest * english/partners/money_donors.wml: moved to new file financial_partners.wml
martinag-guest     * swedish/partners/money_donors.wml: Remove file under development in English.
andremachado-guest * english/partners/financial_partners.wml: solved table width using cells without declared width

As your drafts will be visible on the website and might be translated
while it's still in early stage, I would recommend build drafts on your
own system or on alioth.

Don't hesitate to ask me if
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_wml doesn't provide you the
necessary the needed information :-)

Once pages names and content is ready, then don't hesitate to commit it
to the website.

Best regards.

Hello, Simon
Thanks for the guidance.
I read the documentation, and the instructions [0] at Alioth, but commiting to
alioth.debian.org moved the files to the main site automatically.
Also, did not find a workflow description for collaborative creation.
So, the drafts were not linked from any page. They were reachable only by direct
url typing.
Care was taken to not mess any of the css at other sections, only at the
/partners  subtree, testing what was known at the time at my local machine.
Beyond the cvs messages explaining draft status, the clear text "place holders",
also discussing with publicity and i10n-english lists, I included a notice to
avoid translations for a while. I guessed it was enough...
But what is the url describing workflow for collaborative creation of a page at
the site?
Please, what is the correct workflow for this approach? Is there a sandbox
repository and web site?
Regards.
Andre Felipe

Don't worry, this is the expected behaviour.
When I mentioned alioth in my previous mail, I meant alioth as a system
where wml is installed so that you can build your own drafts in your
alioth $HOME, which is independent from the fact alioth actually
hosts the CVS repo.

There is no use of branchs or tags on the webwml CVS repo.

Sure and thanks for the care. Still webwml CVS / buildsystem does not
replace local build for draft pages.

There is no sandbox repository (though such a need push for moving to an
other VCS..).

The approach I proposed is for you to build pages locally to your system
(or to your alioth public_html) without commiting drafts to the official
CVS repo before you want to make the new pages official.

For example, when I build pages on my system, they are available through
http://teubr.eu.org/~spaillar/debian/webwml/

#debian-www@... can help as well.

Regards.
