+1 to a wiki sort of thing. Fantastic version control that makes a lot 
of sense for contracts. But it's not like I'll be mad if the H. Notary 
doesn't feel like setting something like that up.

I think it would be fine to have it all on one page with summary/details
for the texts, but having everything on separate pages would be fine, too.

Having a one-page version available would be convenient for searching.

I think it would be fine to have it all on one page with summary/details
for the texts, but having everything on separate pages would be fine, too.

Also, you may want to take a look at whatever Gaelan set up in eir
(short) tenure as Notary [0].

DIS: [Notary] Web Report Survey

2020-06-24 Thread ATMunn via agora-discussion
I'm planning on creating an online version of The Notes, my weekly 
report. I think an online version will help tremendously in the 
readability of the report, as you will be able to click on a contract in 
some sort of table of contents to take you directly to the full text of 
the contract. Scrolling sucks.


Fortunately, the way I've formatted my reports, it should be quite easy 
to write a Python script or whatever that converts it from text to HTML. 
I also have quite a bit of CSS experience so I should be able to make it 
look nice and neat. (don't worry, I won't go over-the-top with styling 
though :P)


However, I would like some input on what people want to see in an online 
Notary report. These are my main questions:


- Should everything be in one long webpage, or should each contract be 
split into its own page?


- If contracts are split into their own pages, should each pledge and 
promise also be? Or should all the pledges and promises be on one page, 
but still separate from the main report page?


- Are there any other particular features or things you would find useful?
