- Distributed Authoring and Versioning

- From the W3C's Internationalization Activity Statement:
"A core point of the W3C Character Model is the understanding that with increased integration and data transfer on the Web, more and more the Web as a whole has to be seen as a single application." - Language Variant Resource Management in Pages - Design - High
- COMPLETE - Language Variants are by default excluded from the File Archive listing and the Master Archive listing. They are only viewable by selecting a particular time variant.
- Currently the resource file name template looks like:
<directory-unique-file-name>.<date-and-time-stamp>.<locale-code>.<character-set-code>.<file-type>.<draft-number>
Example: index.20010119105900.en-US.Latin1.html.3 - A full locale code list as found in any browser is required, so that variants for any locale may be constructed, indepedently of whether a string set has been created for each of them. This may require a separate table from ODBM_Locales, depending on how AdminLabels handles the creation of new strings.
- COMPLETE - Any operation on a generic time-variant resource must also take place on its language-variants. This must include copies, renames, and deletes. Specifically, when a generic time variant is copied to produce a new one, the corresponding language variants must likewise be copied, so as to produce an unbroken chain. However, any copy, upload, or deletion operation that takes place on a specific language-variant resource must take place only on it (renaming can only take place at the whole-resource level).
INCOMPLETE - The delete operation performed on a time variant must remove all associated language variants. -
COMPLETE - On the Master Archive, a new "Localize" link (active only when a page is selected), and a listing of language variants upon selection of a particular time variant. Once they are displayed, a single-click selects a language variant for operations such as copy, upload, and delete. A double-click skyWrites. The generic time variant and each language variant are independently selectable. Which of them is the current selection is clear at a glance.

COMPLETE - When Localize is clicked, the page reloads with "Choose a Locale:" instead of "Pages in this Series:". This is follwed by a select box populated with the available locales. Remove from this list all those locales for which this resource already has variants.
Sketch: -
COMPLETE - In the page footer, piped links to all localized versions of the page should be offered. A link back to the generic time variant is also necessary. The page being displayed should have a name in the list, but only as plain text, not a link.
INCOMPLETE - When a specific language version is chosen from these, an Accept-Language cookie is set, with no expiry. Other sensitive pages will notice and respect this over the browser setting, so that if a link is followed to another time variant of the same page or to a separate page altogether, the language choice will follow along to other language sensitive pages.
INCOMPLETE - The skywrite link should skywrite the particular language variant, if such a version has been loaded. In this case, it means passing a locale ID or code in such a form that skywriter can do something with it - perhaps it could sense for the Accept-Language Cookie.

When loading a page, PageCurrent and PageFooter should read the Accept-Language Header and negotiate for the proper language variant, performing a FileExists check on each combination of generic version name and locale extension.
Also the strings in the footer should be locale-appropriate. - skyWriter uploads to the language variant of the page when appropriate, not to the time variant.
-
skyWriter will check which localized variants exist and if any do, populate a piped link list with them to display the one currently being edited and allow navigation to edit another variant. The generic name in the line above becomes a link when a language variant is being edited (to offer nav back to edit the generic).
