If you want to get an idea of what work on FSFE's website consists
|
|
|
|

of, the best way is to come have a chat with us. Some of the

2021-11-30 10:43:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
webmasters are regularly on Libera Chat's #fsfe channel, where we

2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
will be happy to meet you and answer your questions!

The technologies and programs used to maintain the FSFE web page
|
|
|
|
|
|
should already be familiar to many developers and authors and might be of
|
|
|
|
|
|
interest to those that have not yet discovered them.

<h2 id="Understanding">Understanding how the web pages are built</h2>
|
2005-10-07 14:42:31 +00:00

|
|

2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The web pages of <var>fsfe.org</var> are maintaned as a set of
|
|
|
|
|
|
XML files. The web server generates the HTML pages from these XML files
|
|
|
|
|
|
automatically every ten minutes. Consequently, all editing of the pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
is done in the XML files, and the HTML is never edited directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
2005-10-07 14:42:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every page on fsfe.org is named
|
|
|
|
|
|
<var><em>pagename</em>.<em>language</em>.html</var>
|
2025-10-30 12:34:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(<em>language</em> being the two-letter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes">ISO-639
|
2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
code</a> of the language, like "en" for English or "de" for German).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The source files are named
|
|
|
|
|
|
<var><em>pagename</em>.<em>language</em>.xhtml</var>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
2005-10-07 14:42:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some pages have a dynamic part: apart from the fixed texts taken
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the XHTML file, they include information from one or several
|
|
|
|
|
|
XML files. Whenever such a page is built, the build system takes
|
|
|
|
|
|
the translated XML files where available, and falls back to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
English version of those XML files that have not yet been
|
|
|
|
|
|
translated. This way, such pages can end up with parts of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
text being translated and other parts still showing in English.
|
2022-10-07 20:47:48 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Examples of such pages include the <a href="/index.html">start page</a>, the
|
2014-01-24 21:16:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<a href="/news/">news page</a>, and the <a href="/events/">events

|
|
