EXTERNAL EMAIL WARNING

A quick update on this archive header project.

I've found a volunteer for the scripting part of the challenge.

As for the design -
I have started doing a very basic header overlay - as a demo - but would really love someone with some css design skills to help with this .
Could that be you? Please do chip in if you can help.

Thanks
Mick

--// updated brief

# TODO

This project is to include a header in archive.flossmanuals.net

The project has two parts.

## First the Design

First a header design needs to be created. We can adapt the one on this page from archive.org.
To start with we can use a generic one for the whole site. But more specific ones per manual can also be used. For example to highlight the current work and projects of pure-data.

Work in progress in a repo here - https://github.com/mickfuzz/fm_archive_header

## Second the Script (volunteer onboard)

A script to go through all html pages and insert the header in the flat files is needed. Here's the wish list.

* The header should appear on all html files in the archive - (not just front pages)
* It should be able to run on a servers and desktops ideally running debian / ubuntu
* It should be reversable or at least be able to be updated easily
* It should have options to select subdirectories - or to be run in subdirectories - so that individual manuals can be altered with specific headers for more detailed signposting.
