Hi all,
I've just started some work on the "People behind mod_perl" section. I "stole" Stas's make.pl script from success_stories, and adapted it and the template to the needs here.
I just wanted to check with you that the idea is ok. Here it goes:
Each contributor resides in his own file (for example andreas-koenig.txt). In that file, there are headers:
Name: ... (required)
Email: ...
URL: ... (home page)
Group: core | docs (can be extended)
Image: URI to optional image
And then the body, which should be valid HTML (except that paragraphs are separated by a newline and then I put <p> tags around it, a little like Pod. But apart from that, it's pretty much HTML).
The headers and body are then parsed, and run through a template, generating the same file name but .html.
Contributors are separated into groups: core and docs at the moment, but more could be added. Then it's DocSet which creates the index.html page, with the different groups and the names as a TOC with links (I order the files in config.cfg so that they should come out ordered in the TOC too).
That's pretty much it. Now it's the task of getting the info for each contributor which'll be hard... But that's ok, I have enough time.
One thing that bothers me is that like this, we can't have any names without info. Anyone have any solutions for that?
