It's been a week (almost), and we haven't really come up with any sort of decision on templates/languages. Here's where it stands, IIRC: - The code for display/output shouldn't be mixed with the "logic" (Sean). - Proposal of a templating/dictionary engine. (Sean) - We shouldn't allow a completely different LOOK for different languages (Vincent). - Header/footer for each language/project is redundant (Vincent). - Maybe a dictionary/gettext/locales type approach? (Curt) - Using this approach (dictionary) is only a partial solution (and my engine makes use of this part), markup is fundamentally different in different languages. - We should use my engine and make a rule about not allowing the "shared/common" items to be "translated" -- unless necessary for markup purposes. (Sean). ... Nuno mentioned something about phpdoc-lang dirs, but I didn't understand (care to elaborate, Nuno?). I'm not very familiar with livedocs internals. I'd like to see Goba weigh in. Anyone else have comments? I think the solution I proposed is still the best one, but I'm open to using another, so long as we can separate the display code from the logic (lib_general is a mess, right now, IMHO). I hope we can get this resolved this week. Thanks, S
