Re: [perldoc2-developers] [RFC] Platform Specification Vs. 0.1

[Joergen W. L. <joe...@gm...>]

Hi y'all,

sorry for being so quiet. I was on tour with my band. Apparently I 
marked Robert's mail about the specs as "read" before I actually did 
read it. I am currently preparing Version 0.2 of the specs.

Thanks, Robert for taking the time to review the specs!

Most of the suggestions have found their way into Vs. 0.2 so I will not 
go into much detail here and simply post the new version here and in the 
Blog.

I can see two issues that need to be discussed:

- what platform are we going to use?
- DB vs. SVN

I will start seperate threads for these.

In principle I'd say we should try to get a working example on the way 
ASAP so we have something to look at.

po4a allows the storage of meta data in two ways:

- by using certain "headers" in the form of .po comments
   These store the meta information about the document itself like
   charset, date of translation...

- by using so-called "addenda" files which are stored seperate from
   the actual document and are merged into the finished translation
   before publishing.

   These contain informations about translators involved, changes, etc.

Expect more, soon,
