Since we already have some reasonable converts in place, my current interest is in making the surrounding files (i.e., the Web site, not the eBooks) friendlier.
Fair enough... other than wget'ing the entire front-facing page for each landing etext, how do I go about replicating that here, so I can begin testing some of those modifications?
The landing pages are quite similar. Why not just choose a small subset (like 5)?
From my point of view, if you can provide a few good samples, I can pick them up and put them in the backend on the site. I could send the .php script that generates the pages, if it might help. (The PHP won't work solo, because it has some external dependencies, including our Postgres database and a bunch of other PHP files.)
Extracting whatever is different from your pages, and applying them to pages on the site, is something I will be able to do for stuff like css and HTML changes. Or, if it gets complicated, we'll think of another approach. (If I didn't apologize lately: sorry that it's not easy for us to provide additional people usernames on the site, or set up a sandbox. Only the public Wiki area enables this, but it doesn't run the landing pages that we're trying to address.) -- Greg
