On Thursday, with GN, analysed the instructions for rebuilding the entire site for all
future years, and determined that it’s impractical in the long term, and what
we should really do is create a proper dataset by porting the db data to TEI, and
then build a normal static site build which can be rebuilt with a single
command. GN then worked on building only the 2025 output so we can publish
this year’s new data, while I started a new repo servitengasse_tng
and started work on generating TEI from the db data.
On Friday, while GN completed a manual build of the 2025 data, I pushed forward with the work to generate TEI. By the end of the day, I had a much better understanding of the db fields, and in particular those controlling display of person records and notes by date; I had a complete rendering in TEI of all the building and person data, with only the location and event-related work still to do.
