Hi,
I added[1] FAQ-entry for the subject of much controversy among Cocoon community. Now I wonder how to get it published, I found old document aggregating all FAQ entries but it doesn't work ATM. Before I go and fix it I would like to ask your opinion on separating FAQs for Cocoon 2.1 and Cocoon 2.2. Obviously, some entries addressed to 2.2 version has no value for 2.1 user. If we are going to separate FAQ documents, how we will mark to which version particular entries are addressed? Using
tags or some other mechanism?
My personal opinion is that tags will be the most convenient choice.

The regular Daisy approach is to create a branch for each version. That way you can answer the same FAQ different for each version. I'm not sure if you can batch move documents to a specific branch.

IMHO there is no much potential for shared FAQs with two different answers for each version. I think it's a better approach to have unique FAQ document per version, meaning for 2.2 we should start from scratch.

additionally I've never tested if the Daisy exporter works correctly with references to branched documents. If we ever need this in the future, we will have to try it out before.


What if you create different collections for different versions? Documents can be part of multiple collections, so that is a way to differentiate between the two. It would make exporting easier as well.

OTOTH if you need to create different collections for each block, you quickly run into loads of collections.

Reinhard, would a single version-based collection be enough to extract the documents for a specific version or does your exporter work differently?

Bye, Helma
