Re: [Adam Di Carlo <adam@onshore.com>] [RFC] DDP and www.debian.org merger
Umm.. I know this is not that much integrated into wml but.. ¿have
you looked at the perl script made by Paolo Molaro, and modified by
Christophe Le Bars and myself? (the spanish version is in
w.d.o/international/spanish).
The idea of this is to have a Perl database (using hash arrays gives
a lot of possible uses) that has an entry for each documents. It is quite
powerful and Chris and me use it to keep track of translations.
That way you can do things like :
<PERL>
do 'ltcp.pl';
update_db_format();
dump_html(0);
</PERL>
Which dumps all documents marked as 'unavailable' (0). Of course
this can be cleaned up a bit and made more 'developer-friendly' :)
Best regards
Javi
