RE: [Web-trans] Missing link

A cronjob that will run on all of the www tree and see if there are translated 
documents not 
listed in the page? 
 
I think it would be wiser to create something that inspects every new file 
added through the CVS 
(I don't know the technical details of how to do that),  and if it has an 
.xx.html (xx stands for 
language code) suffix, then letting the relevant people know. 
This can also be done by a cronjob that finds all documents created after a 
certain date, and 
reporting them in case they have the .xx.html suffix. 
 
Going a bit further, I would suggest creating a list of translations for each 
page which will be 
included in a separate file (instead of being part of the document as it is 
today) and will be 
used by the page and all it's translations (I prefer the list to be in 
UTF-8/native names form, 
but this still has to be discussed). This way we won't have to update every 
translation when the 
translations list gets updated - it will automatically have an updated list . 
(Later on the 
new-translations-detector-cronjob will be able to use that list by inserting 
the new translations 
directly into it, if they are not already there, instead of letting the 
relevant people know. Full 
automation of translations uploading.) 
But hey, this is just an idea :) 
 
For the first step, a cronjob for detecting new translations will be great 
(thanks dwayne)
