## Design
## Todo
-* git push (scripts-git, or gitosis on an XVM)
* make style usable for other SIPB sites?
* make title == alt on images
* sipb-door widgets
* other widgets
-* migrate sipb.mit.edu/doc
* usability tests
-* table of contents doesn't work
-* editing pages adds lots of extra slashes to the path
### Done
+* table of contents doesn't work. Likely to do with the co-opting of h1
+exclusively for breadcrumbs ...
+* migrate sipb.mit.edu/doc
+* git push (scripts-git, or gitosis on an XVM)
* commit zephyrs for git (ikiwiki.git)
* breadcrumbs style
* add a grumpy fuzzball favicon to replace the ikiwiki one.
## How Things Work
-(this is by fawkes's understanding, it may be wrong)
###When a request comes in:
- a connection comes in for sipb.mit.edu which via a hack in MIT DNS gets directed instead to PENGUIN-LUST.MIT.EDU. If its on ports 80, (443?), or 444 it gets passed off to scripts (where it's handled by b-m or b-k, whichever).
-
-scripts has a special vhost config (/etc/httpd/vhost.d/sipb.conf) for
-sipb.mit.edu:

-For our purposes the key line is the first, meaning that URIs not
-falling into an exception are served straight out of
-web_scripts/wiki/. This directory's contents are generated by ikiwiki
-after each edit, consisting of HTML files and a program ikiwiki.cgi.
+The DocumentRoot for sipb.mit.edu is `/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/sipb`. This directory contains a `.htaccess` file that causes most URIs to be served out of `web_scripts/sipb/_wiki`, a symlink to `../../Scripts/wiki`. This directory's contents are static files generated by ikiwiki
+after each edit.
###For development's sake:
-####How Do I make edits?
+####How do I make edits?
If you want to just edit contents, use the web interface (edit links at bottom of page) or "git clone git+ssh://sipb-www@scripts.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/git/wiki", make your edits in the mdwn, etc.
When you commit, ikiwiki should get automatically republished as HTML.
To work on the code surrounding the wiki in addition to the wikitext, clone the superrepo:
- $ git clone git+ssh://sipb-www@scripts.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/git/sipb-www
- $ cd sipb-www
- $ git submodule update --init
+ $ git clone --recursive ssh://sipb-www@scripts.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/git/sipb-www
+ $ cd sipb-www
+
+You can also clone directly from the filesystem if you have AFS permission. If you want a preview of your pages to be generated locally, you can use the generate-preview.sh script in the superrepo:
+
+ $ git clone --recursive /mit/sipb-www/git/sipb-www
+ $ cd sipb-www
+ $ # make changes here
+ $ mkdir /tmp/sipb-out
+ $ ./generate-preview.sh /tmp/sipb-out
+ $ firefox /tmp/sipb-out/index.html
