Yes, that's covered, the initial part of the URL would reflect that, in the above example the "type" string. i.e. hub.libreoffice.org/extensions[?parameters] hub.libreoffice.org/templates{?parameters] etc. > * The maintenance effort should be low - I don't know if the > current idea means to manually add redirects for each published > version. No - simplest is to create "versioned" pages as necessary and evaluate the URL parameters either using javascript on the client or with php on the server - both are simple to implement. In case there is no match, just hand out the current/default page as if no parameters were given. > * It should also work for "derivatives" or non-TDF builds.

How to do that is a matter of policy / how likely it is to encounter such an URL from outside LibreOffice for example. If such an URL is frequently used, then it is bothersome to use hub.libreoffice.org/whatever?derivate=fedora it would then be easier to have a lik hub.libreoffice.org/whatever-fedora for example. But that's a detail, my main concern was to have one single domainname instead of 20. >> indeed, you raise very valid points here, and I am in favor of your >> solution - thanks for bringing this up! >> >> Would "hub" be a name acceptable for everyone?

I was thinking about airport hub, like a central airport that connects many routes (Verkehrsknotenpunkt) - or the center of a wheel (Nabe) where the individual spokes (Speichen) are connected with each other. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
