Met with TG (yesterday) to talk about a plan to move the History site to the 2012 templates. We tentatively agreed on May to early June as the best time to do a freeze-and-port. She has the new image sizing details, and will begin work on that, and at the same time will discuss any changes to the current site structure that may be appropriate; the idea is to do these before the freeze, to make the downtime as short as possible.

JS sent code for including a Skype link, which calls external JS from Skype, which I've inserted as the dept requested into the contact page and footer. Had to republish the whole site, of course, but nothing else was publishing at the time. The link doesn't work for me, even though I have Skype, but I don't have any kind of Skype plugin in my browser; I looked for one, but there doesn't seem to be one.

The first broken link report came from the French site, and it shows up what looks like an Apache misconfiguration for a PDF link (it bounces to the web.uvic.ca equivalent site), as well as a huge number of errors which I think originate from the global top-of-the-page stuff, which of course is not under our control. I fixed the other errors -- there were only a few, mainly typos in URLs.

JS showed me how to do multiple FAQ sections with multiple questions in each, using a set of plusminus blocks, so I've completed the last urgent task before launch this evening. There are a few remaining issues that require input from the department.

The new French site is about to go live. I worked through the remaining issues arising out of the proofing by Communications folks, and fixed everything I could fix; a few things remain outstanding or are things that should be done by a department member. The changes have been published to the dev site, and JS will go ahead and replace the old site with the new some time tomorrow, according to our plan.

LSPW reported the French site is ready to go live, except for a couple of problems; fixed those (news index blocks had been set not to publish), but after proofing found a lot more issues, so I've reported those to her and the others proofing.
