Re: Need to know final URLs for press kits

Web folks,

I've gotten some oblique answers on this and feel that I'm still not
completely clear.

When the press kits are ready in the various languages, what will the URL be?
For, for example, French?

Josh, what are the pages involved? IIRC it is presskit80.html and
release80.html? (foundry seems down otherwise i would look it up)

I guess we have two directions we could go; put the files into a
subdirectory for each language under the files section, like we do with
the FAQ's, so the urls would look like:
http://www.postgresql.org/files/press/en/presskit80.html
http://www.postgresql.org/files/press/fr/presskit80.html
etc...

I think the alternative is to try to put them all somewhere under
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/ and then try to do some content
renegotiation for just those particular pages:
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit80
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/release80
and then it would just magically figure out what language the user
needed and/or have links for "this page available in" message at the
bottom.

I'll admit the second seems a little magical to me as to if we can
really do it that way, perhaps Alexey can speak to this (or shoot it
down). Also if you (Josh) have a preference on which way it is done
don't be shy.

Just presskit80.html.

This works for me, fine.

That's not going to work since we don't have full sites for any of these
languages. Also, we need to embed explicit links in e-mail.

Can I assume the silence on this means that everyone agrees with Robert, and
we'll use the above URLs?
