nfoCentrale Is Being Repaved.

The Construction Structure and Content of this site is being repaved by customization of material scavenged from other nfoCentrale sites and the systematic upgrade of the style of this site.

Check the Repaving Project pages for additional details on the approach and its tracking.  Contact the nfoCentrale technical coordinator with questions and to report any defects that you notice.

 

     
     
     
     
     
  2006-01-19 Scoop the completed items off into an archive page of this job jar so that there is less baggage.
  2006-01-19 Update the c000003, c000004, and c000005 to account for the license notice template element, although not every site and sub-site has one.
  2006-01-15 The c000003 to c000005 template descriptions are really ugly.  We need to rescue some of this into a construction note that provides the document engineering for these templates and simplifies the description.  This should make it easier to keep template versions, too.
  2006-01-14 What do we do to account for an anchor site dependency?  [dh:2006-01-20 Make the page that we need.  The only dependency should be from the front porch Construction Zone page.  Everything else should converge on that Construction Zone.]
  2005-11-04 It is appropriate to discuss the anchor-page approach, the use of internal relative links, etc.  This is also a pattern.
  2005-11-04 Warning: When files are automatically adjusted in a standalone FrontPage folder set, there is no synchronization with VSS.  That is why the entire VSS tree must be checked out when working with an off-line FrontPage web located in the file system (e.g., when taken traveling on a laptop).
  2005-11-04 Document the Renaming, check-out game to get everything updated everywhere it is supposed to happen.
  2005-11-04 Document: The table clean-up involves replacing style attributes with bgcolor attributes. Also, extraneous <center> elements (and <div> elements that do centering) can be removed.
  2005-11-04 Document the use of table elements and the FrontPage options by which <div> elements and other automatic features are avoided.
  2005-11-04 Document the use of timestamps at any update, so that it works through include pages.
  2005-11-03 Make "What's An Orcmid" in a folio on that topic, including its latest page into orcmid.htm.
  2005-11-03 Every folder always has an index.htm page as part of the mandatory scaffolding.  That means when a web folder is mirrored off-line, that is the only page we can explicitly refer to as the home page of a folder.  (At the top I suppose there might be readme.htm also.)  I need to document this practice and figure out how we can do otherwise with only client-side functionality and no assurance that scripting is available.  I am curious about the possible use of HTA here, and also the prospect of sites being recorded on a CD-ROM with Autoplay enabled.
  2005-11-03 Document the mass working between VSS and FrontPage and another VSS for (1) making sure that local changes in FrontPage are checked in and out of the local VSS properly and (2) synchronization with the "public" VSS is also handled properly, especially when going mobile and returning.  [dh:2005-11-03: There may be important use of FrontPage File | Import ... also.  This may be the way to get the material into another site.   I need to verify what happens when a page already exists, but is checked out.]
  2005-11-03 The rel="nofollow" anchor tag attribute should be used on all interior construction links and links to the hosted sites from these materials.  We do not want these pages to show up as prominent link sources.  Enforce systematically during the building of  /construction and the other pages of sites.
  2005-11-03 Introduce the practice of every construction zone having a c000003c.htm that works as an include page.  This will always have the relative material work out properly.  The default include page will link to the construction-section as the nearest construction zone.
  2005-11-02 Document the creation of VSS Admin options for the development web folder.  This is Options | Web Projects as well as other settings. 
  2005-11-02 The use of import is important.  It allows the FrontPage extensions to note all links and dependencies and record the presence of the material in an appropriate way.
  2005-11-02 For the internal FrontPage extensions of FrontPage 2003 to work, the permissions on the local "web" folder need to be set so that authors can modify the files and directories.
  2005-11-02 Options for authoring in FrontPage are set for client-side JScript as the most invasive.   To provide local mirroring, maybe even that must be avoided.  This is a how-to-use as well as how-to-construct.  Might be in Cyymmnn and Dyymmnn folios, for the separate purposes.
  2005-11-02 Document FrontPage for editing text, HTML, ECMAscript, XML, and XSLT files.
