On Tuesday, based on responses from HT on some of the minor issues I found from diagnostics, I began making cautious changes to the data in the database, since we haven’t yet settled on making the HTML the canonical source. Then I took all the static content from the current site, updating it as appropriate for changes since publication, and turned it into TEI documents ready to form the basis for the new site build. Then downloaded and reprocessed the db into updated TEI files.
On Wednesday, rooted out a bunch more test, junk, and empty records, on the DB and in the repo, and started nailing down the schema a lot more carefully. Also created a true build.xml alongside the db conversion build file.
On Thursday, started work on the code to purge unpublishables from the XML by year.
On Friday, started building out the web site generation code, creating the first of what will be several boilerplate page templates, and getting the build mechanism to produce pages for people.
