Hi Alex,
I looked at the page, first a minor issue. The following text regarding
the Windows version seems to be wrong (this is what's shown on the page):
The standard installer can be downloaded here:
{Web.DownloadDraft$$:windowsinstallername}
Can the change applied to the main download page?
I am generally in favour, but would like to see some things done first.
Document how you intend it to work, i.e. put some instructions on
this page
http://www.lyx.org/SiteDocumentation
To be specific, there should be some simple instructions on what to do
and also:
* Why it's done in this way (which may appear a bit convoluted).
* List which variables that are to be used for what.
* Example: Give an example of how it's used.
Then refer to these instructions from within the Download-pages by using a
comment
(:comment See Web.SiteDocumentation#release for instructions :)
I'm a bit worried of things breaking... could we have some test cases on
the documentation page? This could simply be the variables and their
results, e.g. like this:
(:markup:)
{Web.Download$:windowsinstallername}
(:markupend:)
This will show both the markup and it's result, hopefully making it
relatively easy to quickly verify that all the variables have been updated
properly.
Finally I wonder why we don't keep the definitions of the variables at
the top of the page? When a new release is done, it'll be easier for the
person doing the release if he can just fix things at the top of the page.
best regards,
Christian
