[FM Discuss] FLOSS manuals archive sites - and a volunteer request

[Mick Chesterman]

HI there,

I’ve started a quick requirements text here in a collaborative pad

https://pad.riseup.net/p/fm_archive_header-keep

thanks
Mick


# 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 project of pure-data.

## Second the Script

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 idealy 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.

## Next!
