Thread: Ready to launch?
So, with the possible exception of the survey being missing from the front page, are we ready to launch now? As for the survey, the only responses I've seen from anyone are along the lines of 'yes, it does need to be on the front page'. I personally think that the 'Featured User' box should be used for this - I can't see us getting a new quote from a user every few weeks after all... Regards, Dave.

I like that idea, maybe oscillate between surveys / quotes for 3 weeks /
1 week of every month?
As for rolling up, I think we still have a few things that should be
addressed:
1) "about the new website" link in the announcement doesn't go anywhere,
did someone have content for that?
2) Under About->Press we have a link to the 8.0 press kit and in the FAQ
it stats 8.0 is the most recent version. Perhaps those links should be
hidden for now?
3) Downloads->BitTorrent-> only has links to the 8.0beta4, can we get a
copy of 7.4.6 and 8.0rc1 ?
4) More of a IMO thing, but I think the links in
Documentation->Manuals->[current|archive] should be changed so that with
user comments is listed first.
5) Documentation->FAQ seems fairly busted. Since we have all of the
language FAQ's working on the current site, I think this needs to be
straightened out before we go live.
6) Books should probably be listed in order of Publish date, an added
bonus would be to link to the book information on techdocs (reviews,
recommendations) but not a deal breaker.
7) I think we should add gborg, pgfoundry, and techdocs to
Community->Resources. possibly devrim's blog roll too, though I dont
know if that is live yet.
8) Support->professional services is blank, we either need to import the
info from techdocs are create a link to it.
9) Support-> hosting is also blank, same story as #8
10) Support-> bug reporting probably should have a link to the
pgsql-bugs archives.
11) Should the license link in the footer point to the license of the
website?
12) Anyone else have an issue with the footer links sometimes
overlapping the sponser add? I get this alot in the community section of
the website.

They should be there - the links just need fixing. The problem is that
these are extracted automatically from CVS, so integrating them into the
site properly as the note on that page suggests is not particularly
easy.

Using Omar's reasoning for removing my Privacy Policy link from the
About section (ie. It's to do with the site, not the product), I would
say that the Licence link from the bottom of each page should go
altogether.
That said, the site code is also under the BSD licence (albeit the
standard one, not the PG version) - but does anyone really care about
that? {erhaps it's best left on Gborg.
Which reminds me of a problem - *all* the website in CVS is published
under the BSD licence, however that includes the elephant which Emily
pointed out was a $100 stock photo. Technically that means we cannot use
the elephant...

My brother pointed that out the other day. He's a web developer by trade
so has a bunch of browsers to hand, and determined that of those he had,
only Firefox 0.9 seemed to be affected. 1.0 seems to be fine (that's
what I run).
Does that tie in with your system?
WRT the other items, are they on the todo? Can you add them and mark the
showstoppers if not please?

How so? The BSD license is not antithetical to living beside non-free
stuff (unlike GPL). I agree it would be a good idea to point out
somewhere in the relevant docs that the elephant image isn't BSD'd,
just so no one mistakenly thinks it is.

Oh no, that's not what I meant. The entire site is in CVS (in fact, periodically rebuilds itself from CVS), and that CVS is advertised by the Gborg site as being covered by a BSD licence. It's not easy to edit that as the licence is one of a number of standard ones used site wide. If we keep the elephant in CVS, then I think we would need to include a note saying that it is not included in the licence on every place we have/display that licence. Not only is that a pita, but is also made more difficult for the reason mentioned already. Are there no good royalty free alternatives around? Regards, Dave.

Hi, > Oh no, that's not what I meant. The entire site is in CVS (in fact, You mean the sentence at the top of the project page? "This project is released under the Berkeley/BSD license"? Just adding something in the project description that says what the actual license is would work. On the other hand, the source itself does not have a license included (as Gavin pointed out), and does not appear to have an actual binding license. Adding the bit about the elephant into the eventual COPYING/LICENSE file is all that's needed in that regard. > Are there no good royalty free alternatives around? Uh, it *is* a royalty free image. Rights managed images cost several thousand dollars plus. Royalty free just means you don't pay royalties. If you mean free (libre and gratis), then it'd be virtually impossible to find an totally free image of that quality. Unless someone happens to be a budding photographer, and has some great pictures of elephants in the African savannah, that is. In which case, I'm all for it. Or, the dancing bear. Perhaps we can dress it up as an elephant? Omar

I'd like to point out that code does not equate to *design*, and that
the previous conversation was about *site code*, i.e., pgweb, and not
the design (and even then, nothing was decided upon.)
Not that there's anything in the BSD license that says you can't use an
image on a website, but alas.
This is a proposed license. The PostgreSQL Global Development Group must
accept the following terms for the BSD license and copyright addition to
take affect (the CSS has already been BSD licensed, separately.)
---
The images (except the elephant in the announcement box on the front
page), the unique combination of images, colors, sizes, typography, and
positioning ("the design") are:
Copyright (c) 2004 Emily Boyd
Copyright (c) 2004 Omar Kilani
("the original copyright holders") and is additionally:
Copyright (c) 2004 PostgreSQL Global Development Group
And is released under the BSD license.
---
The elephant in the announcement box on the front page is a licensed
derivative work of a royalty free image, and Emily Boyd grants the
PostgreSQL Global Development Group the right to use said image on the
postgresql.org website.
---
Use by PostgreSQL International sites is possible, but a right to use
must be granted by Emily Boyd for each licensee, as per the terms of the
original license on the image.

Well, mine is the mozilla based Galeon 1.2.6. As Steve said, this seems to
happen on any short page where the text doesn't clear the sidebar.

Yeah, but it would be a real pita to have one image from the site stored in a different way from the entire rest of the site. Regards, Dave.
From reading the other messages I think this has been resolved, however... I can create a license record that is not availabe to other projects and then manually assign that license to a project.

Hmm. As phrased, this would seem to require Emily to write a grant for
each Postgres mirror site. While she might be happy to do that, I think
it'd become a bookkeeping nightmare in no time. If the license you have
for the image requires these sorts of pushups then I agree with Joshua
--- we should look elsewhere.
Could we see the exact terms under which you licensed the image?

I did, several times, and just tried it from a fresh browser on a different server in a different part of the US to boot. :-) The link still points to /developer/profiles, unless I'm greatly mistaken (which is not at all outside of the realm of possibility). Hmm, perhaps this is it.

It's clearly not the most efficient way, but given the number of different ways that pages get built on the site, it is certainly the most maintainable.

I don't know how many links there are to the doc sets. Mind you, I suppose each doc links to the next and previous, so it would hit each at least 3 times which it clearly isn't. Regards, Dave.

Yes, I also wrote it to accept a -r preg_pattern command line switch. Running it like mirror.php -r "~/static/~" (not tested) may do the trick... The script also knows the standard -h / --help switch, BTW... > Would it? I don't know how many links there are to the doc sets.

if you spidering via http you could ask if page was modified since last rebuild
and you'll save a lot. Check is your servers actually provides such information,
probably you need to configure them properly.

using SSI (server side include) could save even if design was changed
(with accuracy to header/footer components).

Most of the pages are dynamically built by php code from numerous files & the database, so the server isn't going to know if they have changed :-( Regards, Dave

So, that php-code should be corrected to issue right headers. Marc should
know how.

Nope, can't help with this one ... with the archives/php, we are setting Last-Modified based on the Date of the email message itself ... we were originally doing it based on timestamp of the message file itself, but that wouldn't work with Alexey's code, since it links in several files, any of which could, in theory, have changed since teh last build :( ---- Marc G.

Err, probably not - he hasn't had much to do with the new site's code. Besides, to give an example, if considering one docs page (which accounts for the vast majority of the site), there are 10 php scripts involved (the main site handler, the doc handler, plus settings, global funtions and Pear code), as well as a record in the database. Checking the freshness of each of those will likely cost more or at least as much as just serving the page anyway (remember, it's spidering form the same machine, so there is no real network bottleneck), and would be particularly tricky to code well I imagine.
