I think the existing system works well, and if possible should evolve, rather than be reinvented. I wondered about asking the Database Masters if they could add a marker (or markers) to indicate if a phrase is used in v1.4 series, or v1.5 series. We could then test for inclusion in v1.4 or v1.5 by modifying the download scripts that generate the output files. I would ask for something like a checkbox for admins to select against each variable string: Phrase used in v1.4 [x] Phrase used in v1.5 [ ] We could then select which phrases are relevant to each version. That would avoid a problems if a phrase was dropped in v1.5, but was still needed in v1.4. I think we should ask Marco van Beek for his input. Eric |
