But the access is a problem. Can it > import the XML it produces? The XML on my site is the actual data file written by planner - only the HTML has to be exported. Therefore, opening the XML in planner is a simple case of File|Open. The exported HTML is kept to a single file so it could be updated by anyone using planner (or automated if someone writes an XSL stylesheet) and committed to the website in the same way. > If so then anyone with svn access could > change things, which is probably good enough. Added to SVN. current/website/trunk/english/emdebian/emdebian.planner To be installed to the website at: http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/emdebian.planner (once the website script runs overnight.) To open it: >From the SVN location: $ planner ./website/trunk/english/emdebian/emdebian.planner Or from File|Open within planner or with wget etc. Maybe host the exported HTML at http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/todo.html ? Initially, the export seems a little strange, you need to choose File|Export|HTML but then select the todo.wml file in english/emdebian/ as the target of the export and allow it to be overwritten. The make process copies todo.wml as todo.html without changes (because it doesn't contain any WML markup). This isn't due to planner, it is down to the website build process. There's not too much redundant information in the exported HTML, it includes costings that we don't need and one or two other minor things like that. I'll add a task to planner to document the process! ;-) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
