[SITE] Split projects/index.html

2011-10-11 Thread sebb
The podling status sumnmary page currently contains details of all
podlings, past and present.

It's already quite long, and it is going to get longer and longer.

Would it be sensible to split the page, perhaps into one page for each status?
Or maybe current, graduated and other?

If it's important to have a single page that contains all the podling
names ever used for searching purposes, then we could create a
simplified version of podlings.xml, with links to more detailed
entries.

I have no problem with the length of the size, but I am also not
opposed to this change. If you would change it, then I would prefer
current, graduate and other, b/c retired and dormant are pretty
similar.

 entries.

If needed, the simplified version of podlings.xml should be generated
with xslt too

Cheers

Does it make sense for the details such as description and mentors to
be pushed out to site-author/projects/podling.xml, and pages to be
generated from time to time from a compilation of the podling files
and a simplified podlings.xml?

Not at present, because the podling.xml files don't have a totally
predictable structure; they are a mixture of data and markup.

One of the reasons for moving to podlings.xml was to simplify editting
and processing of the data.

If podling.xml ever migrates to an XML file with a DTD, we could
then consider fetching some data from it.

However, I think we still need the central podlings.xml file.
